The graph in the image shows a line with a negative slope because the line is slanting downwards from left to right. A positive slope would indicate a line rising from left to right, but here the line descends, indicating a negative slope.

The correct answer to the question should be negative instead of positive.

Here are some related questions for further practice:

1. What is the slope of a horizontal line?
2. How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points?
3. What is the slope of a vertical line?
4. Can a line have a slope of zero? What does that look like?
5. How would the graph of a positive slope appear?

Tip: The slope of a line is calculated by the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x), so lines moving downward have a negative slope.
