Yes, the continental slope drops downward to the edge of the continent at which point it plummets down for the depth of the continental plate. It depends upon whom you speak with, but a nation's boundary is generally considered 200 miles beyond that.

What is the general direction of lines with a negative slope?

How do you determine if an equation represents an upward slope?
If you look at the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b), and the m is positive, then the line will have an upward slope (ex. y=8x+2) if the m is negative the line will have a downward slope (ex. y=-9x+6).
