Answer

True.

Work Step by Step

Consider any a point from first and third quadrant each and calculate slope: 1. (2,3) and (-1, -2) (3+2)/(2+1) = 5/3 2. (5,6) and (-4,-3) (6+3)/ (5+4) = 1 Coordinates in first quadrant are positive and coordinates in second quadrant are negative. So, the ratio of differences between these coordinates will be always positive and so is the slope.
