positive
negative
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

From the number line, we can see that the unknown number \( s \) is to the right of \( 1 \), so \( s>1 \).

Step2: Analyze \( s + 1 \)

If \( s>1 \), then adding \( 1 \) to \( s \) (i.e., \( s + 1 \)) will be greater than \( 1+1 = 2 \), which is positive. So \( s + 1 \) is positive.

Answer:

positive
