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.
the coefficient of x is negative

True.
no, false
The coefficient of the x term gives the gradient of the slope.
If the coefficient of the highest power of a variable of interest is negative.
