the line goes down from left to right
-
as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper
-
as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep

What is the trend of a graph?
The trend of a graph is the slope of any line on the graph that indicated a positive or growth factor and/or a negative or decaying factor. If the slope goes negative, the graph's line will go down thus indicating decay. If the slope becomes positive, the graph's line will go up thus indicating growth.
A straight line on a graph means there is a what relationship?
A direct relationship if the slope of the line is positive. An inverse relationship if the slope of the line is negative.
What must be true about the slope of a line whose graph extends into quadrants II and IV?
it is a negative slope.
What is an negative slope?
A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.
How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
