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.

Why demand curve is negatively sloping?
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.
How the slope of the demand curve can be explained by the principle of marginal utility?
The demand curve is negatively sloped because it is based on the principle of marginal utility and this utility decreases as consumption increases. The demand price which depends on the marginal utility of a good also declines as consumption increases, so quantity and price are inversely related, leading to the negative curve and the law of demand.

What are the major characteristics of an indifference curve?
The three major characteristics of an indifference curve are: 1. They are negatively sloped 2. They are convex to the origin 3. Indifference curve cannot be intersected
Why indifference curves are always 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 the tax multiplier always positive?
tax multiplier is always negative not positive, because of downward sloped aggregte demand curve
Using the AD-AS framework what is the impact on equilibrium price and output when there are increase in aggregate demand and aggregate supply simultaneously?
AD-AS represents aggregate demand curve (AD) and aggregate supply curve (AS). "In the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model, each point on the aggregate demand curve is an outcome of the IS-LM model for aggregate demand Y based on a particular price level. Starting from one point on the aggregate demand curve, at a particular price level and a quantity of aggregate demand implied by the IS-LM model for that price level, if one considers a higher potential price level, in the IS-LM model the real money supply M/P will be lower and hence the LM curve will be shifted higher, leading to lower aggregate demand; hence at the higher price level the level of aggregate demand is lower, so the aggregate demand curve is negatively sloped
Does negatively sloped mean downward sloped?
Yes. Negative gradient would mean downward sloping.
