Assuming you're driving a car with a manual gearbox, a reverse hill start is fairly straight-forward.

To Start with, you need to have your handbrake fully on, this will stop the car from rolling.

With your clutch pedal pushed fully down, select reverse, then gradually bring your clutch pedal up towards the biting point. Once you find this, your car will try to move. At this point take your hand brake off, and you'll start moving up the hill.

What way should your right front wheel be facing when you are parked on a downhill curb?

In a downhill area, you should always park with the front wheels toward the curb. The theory is that if the brakes malfunction, the car will move towards the curb and stop, instead of going downhill, gathering speed and causing an accident.
