What is the "whole thing?" Also, if a line has a negative slope, it doesn't mean that all points on the line have negative coordinates. It just means that for every increase in x, there is a decrease in y.
On a straight line, the gradient is the same all the way along. Which, if this is how you meant it, the "whole thing" is negative. However not all coordinates will be negative.

What can you say about a slope a regression line for variables that are negatively associated?
The slope will be negative.The slope will be negative.The slope will be negative.The slope will be negative.
If one slope is -1 what is the slope of the perpendicular slope?
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
How do you know when the slope of a line is negative?
You know when the slope of a line is negative when m in the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b is negative. For example, y=-3x+2 has a negative slope since m (which is -3 in this case) is negative. This is the same when finding a positive slope, because if m is positive, then the slope is positive.
What are four types of slope?
positive slope negative slope zero slope undefined
What is an example of a negative slope?
a negative slope is any number with a negative sign like -1, -20, -30, -154879652
How many solutions are ther for slope lines have?
The slope of a line on a graph can be zero, or any positive or negative real whole number or fraction or decimal.

For a negative slope the rise is and the run is positive?
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.

What is the difference between positve and negative correlation?
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
What are four types of slope?
positive slope negative slope zero slope undefined
What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?
If a line has a negative slope it is going 'down hill' and if it has a positive slope it is going 'up hill'
What is the graph if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, or going downhill, then that means the graph will be a regular coordinate system (x and y axis). The only thing that is different is the direnction of the slope. A positive, or regular, slope formula, looks like this: y= 2x + 3, for example. Since there are no negative signs, the slope would be going upwards. But a negative slope, like you are talking about, would look either like this: y= -2x + 3 ( negative sign in front of 2 ). Remember: If the equation looks like this: y= 2x - 3, it would still be positive, because it is behind the 2x. Good luck!
What is negaitve slope?
You're familiar with the xy-plane. A line with negative slope is one that goes down toward the right. A curve has a negative slope at a point if the tangent line to the curve at that point has a negative slope.
What is an example of a negative slope?
a negative slope is any number with a negative sign like -1, -20, -30, -154879652
Can a negative slope a have negative reciprocal?
Yes.
