Positive.

hero · Answer

So the graph is going DOWN from left to right, correct?

anonymous · Answer

Right.

hero · Answer

If it is going down and not up from left to right, what do you believe that implies?

anonymous · Answer

Hero, didn't you reverse the things in your hint ?

anonymous · Answer

That the slope is positive and the y-value of the y-intercept is also positive.

hero · Answer

Aw shucks. I meant to say "left to right"

anonymous · Answer

Lol. Nobody is perfect.

hero · Answer

If the slope of a line decreases from left to right, then its graph is negative
If the slope of a line increases from left to right, then its graph is positive.
If the slope of a line is steady from left to right, then the graph of the line has zero slope. 

Which statement do you believe applies to the graph above?

anonymous · Answer

In other words, it is negative.

hero · Answer

Yes, it is negative. Sorry about the confuzzling. It happens when I get too excited with a question. I start typing too fast and my fingers move faster than my brain sometimes, sadly.

anonymous · Answer

It is alright lol.
