Why the partical is not moving toward negative x-direction?
negative
Yes, "velocity" is a vector so it not only has magnitude but also direction. By convention, an object moving from left-to-right or upward is moving in a positive direction while an object moving right-to-left or downward is moving in a negative direction. "Speed" is a related term but it is a scalar. As such, it has only magnitude. A speed cannot be negative.
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
True - but the "assumed direction" is opposite to reality.

false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
always current flow from the opposite direction of electron
Acceleration is the change of velocity, with direction. Therefore slowing down is a change in veolcity, so is considered to be acceleration (just negative acceleration).
The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.
Yes. Since velocity is a vector it can have negative values when the object is moving in the direction opposite to the direction defined as the positive direction. For example, if an object is thrown vertically upwards and the upward direction is considered the positive direction, then when the object is falling downwards under gravity, its velocity is negative (in the upward direction). Coversely, if the downward direction is defined as the positive direction, then the object has a negative velocity during the first stage of the trajectory.

Waving, which involves moving your hand in a particular direction is considered as a form of communication to signify or express a greeting or direction.
It means that an object with a negative average velocity is moving in the opposite direction (of course according to the chosen positive direction of the predefined frame).
