When the right side point is lower than the left side point what is the sign of the slope?

The sign of the slope is negative because going from left to right the slope decreases or goes down. If the slope were to increase or go up, the sign would be positive. Hope I helped!

Does a steep line have a negative slope?
This is unrelated. A steep line has a LARGE slope. The slope is positive if the line goes up from left to right; negative if it goes down from left to right.

A line extending from the upper left to the lower right has this type of slope?
A line extending from the upper left to the lower right has a negative slope.
A line extending from the lower left to the upper right has this type of slope?
A line extending from the lower left to the upper right has a positive slope.
What direction does the supply curve slope from the left to right?
Supply curves do not always slope from left to right. A supply curve can slope from the right and when this happens this means that there is a surplus of goods at a lower price.
How do you tell wheater a slope is positive or negative?
A slope is positive or negative based on if the line goes from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner or right to left. Left is positive right is negative.
What is a postive slope?
With a straight line, a positive slope means the line is going to go from the lower left to the upper right.
What is the best definition of slope?
In terms of coordinate geometry, slope equals rise over run. Take a slope that is going from upper left to lower right on the coordinate system, and a given point under the slope. Measure from the point straight up (along the y coordinate) to the slope and this gives the 'rise'. Measure straight to the right (along the x coordinate) to the slope and this gives you the 'run'. Y=Mx+B
When did you say that the slope is negative?
a slope going from right to left
Do rising lines always have negative slopes?
If a line on a graph is rising as it goes from left to right, it has a positive slope. If it is falling from left to right (or rising from right to left) it has a negative slope. If it is horizontal, it has a slope of zero.
What happens to the value of y as x increases if the slope is negative?
If the slope is negative, y decreases as x increases. The slope goes from top-left of the graph (Quadrant II) to the lower-right of the graph (Quadrant IV).
Does a steep line have a negative slope?
This is unrelated. A steep line has a LARGE slope. The slope is positive if the line goes up from left to right; negative if it goes down from left to right.
Does Does a steep line have a negative slope?

What a negative slope?
It means that when 'x' gets bigger, 'y' gets smaller. On a graph, as you ride the graph from left to right, you slip lower.
