They mean the graph/function is decreasing.
A negative slope. a decrease, a fall, etc.
They indicate a rise in whatever it is that the graph is measuring.
downward as they proceed from left to right across a 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.
