goes up and to the left
Goes down and to the right
The slope is negative and the line falls from left to right.
In the form y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept and m is the coefficient, so if an equation has a negative coefficient, m<0. As a graph, the slope of the line is negative.
Amongst polynomial graphs, it is when the coefficient of the highest power of the variable (x) is negative.
No, the slope of a line in linear regression cannot be positive if the correlation coefficient is negative. The correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables; a negative value indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases. Consequently, a negative correlation will result in a negative slope for the regression line.

Yes, the slope of a line is the coefficient of the x-term in the line.

True.
The coefficient of the x term gives the gradient of the slope.
no, false
No, the slope of a line is not the coefficient of the y-term in the line's equation. In the slope-intercept form of a line's equation, (y = mx + b), the slope is represented by the coefficient (m) of the x-term, while (b) represents the y-intercept. Therefore, the slope corresponds to the x-term's coefficient, not the y-term.
If the coefficient of the highest power of a variable of interest is negative.
