On a graph, going down or left is a decrease, while going up or right is an increase.
From the origin point, going down 15.5 units would result in negative 15.5 (-15.5).
Think about if you have 4 apples. If you add 2 more, that would an increase and would be represented by a positive number, for positive rate of change. But if you then take away 3 apples, then your amount of apples would go down, it would decrease. And this decrease is represented for a negative number, for a negative rate of change.

So the answer is negative.

Find four consecutive integers with the sum of -142
Akimi4 [234]

n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers

-142 - the sum

The equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142

n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142

4n + 6 = -142     |subtract 6 from both sides

4n = -148    |divide both sides by 4

n = -37

n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36

n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35

n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34

Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.
