as you go from left to right, are you going uphill? or downhill?

anonymous · Answer

I think it is down hill

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes, so that tells us the slope is negative

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

going downhill ----> negative slope
going uphill ----> positive slope

anonymous · Answer

so it is B, right?
