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 a slope when dealing with graph?
The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.
What would a graph that has a negative slope show?
It would have a downhill slope from left to right
What equations will have a graph with a slope of negative 3?
That will depend on what equations but in general if it has a slope of -3 then it will have a down hill slope
Why the slope of temperature versus pressure graph is positive in some cases and negative in other cases?
If the pressure is increasing then the slope is positive. If the pressure is decreasing then the slope is negative.
If a linear graph has a negative slope what can you say about the dependent variable?
It does not change.
