The IS curve is a negative slope, indicating that higher levels of output are associated with lower interest rates. The negative slope follows from the assumption that investment is inversely related to the interest rate. As the interest rate decreases, investment and hence, equilibrium output increases- Dr Remy Hounsou
Downward
due to negative slope
Is always negative. (should be in all caps for emphasis)
Demand curve is slope downward because of inverse relationship between price and quantity.
The principle of diminishing marginal utility explains the slope of the demand curve by letting us be able to see which direction the slope is in, which is always downward.

The demand curve will have a downward slope indicating ________ . A. the expansion of demand with a fall in price B. contraction of demand with a rise in price C. the expansion of demand with a fall in price and contraction of demand with a rise in price D. rise in price causes a rise in supply
substitution effect is the explanation for the downward slope of the aggregate damnd curve.
The gradient of the tangents to the curve.
The Phillips Curve is an inverse relationship between the rate of unemployment in an economy and the inflation. The lower the unemployment is, the higher inflation we get! Thus we can say that the Phillips Curve is negative (downward sloping)
Price elasticity of demand is equal to the instantaneous slope of the demand curve, or the slope of the tangent line at any point on the demand curve. So if the demand curve is represented by a straight downward sloping line, then yes, price elasticity of demand is equal to the slope of the demand curve. Otherwise, the slope at any point on the curve is changing, and you can find the it by taking the derivative of the demand curve function, which will find the Price elasticity of demand at any single point. Thus, the Price Elasticity of Demand changes at different points on the demand curve.
