No there is a range of resting potentials. For example retinal ganglion cells have a resting potential of -65 mV while the endocochlear potential is +80 mV.

When the membrane potential becomes more negative it is being hyperpolarized. Remember the resting membrane potential is already at a negative state (~70mV). So if you are making a comparison of a membrane potential that is hyperpolarized in comparison to a resting membrane potential, the resting membrane potential is said to be more depolarized.

When the membrane potential becomes more positive it is called depolarization.

The resting membrane potential is maintained by solely by passive transport processes.
