Yes. Negative gradient would mean downward sloping.
point method
The demand curve is negatively sloped to represent the declining marginal utility from consumption. At greater quantities of consumption each additional unit of a good consumed will yield relatively less utility, thereby reducing the marginal willingness to pay for that good.
Demand (units sold) will drop as price increases. More people will buy a product when the price is low; less people will buy the same product when the price is high.
when we use the "loanable funds frame work" the Bs become negative.\ Supplying a bond = demanding a loan = demanding loanable funds. Demanding a bond = supplying a loan = supplying loanable funds.
downward
why PPF in economics is negatively sloped
its something to do with a non satiation assumption. ie if all the bundles on the indifference curve are "goods" (actively wanted products) then the indifference curve slopes downward from L to R. if there is a "good" and a "bad" on the curve then it will be positively sloped. (upward from L to R)
Is negatively sloped linear curve
MC is the change in Tc divide by change in quantity. MC will always be negatively sloped and ATC has positively sloped.

this site has no sense I dont know why you call yourself answer.com
tax multiplier is always negative not positive, because of downward sloped aggregte demand curve
They are sloped
If you mean negatively charged ion - then yes
Not necessarily. A perpendicular to a sloped line will be sloped. It will be at right angles to the sloped line, though.
I am vikrant .inclined plane is a slopy plane from which heavy objects can move easily(only in downward direction).according to my thinking it is based on gravity as gravity act in downward direction but a plane(inclined) is sloped so the object on it donot finds a downward path but finds a slopy path .
