Answer 1

Answer:

  B. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that has a negative "rise" (vertical change) for a positive "run" (horizontal change) has a negative slope. The slope is calculated from rise/run, so if the signs of rise and run are different, the slope is negative.

Any line that goes downward to the right has negative slope.
