Answer:

  B. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the ratio of a change in y-value to the corresponding change in x-value. When the line goes down to the right, as here, the y-value change is negative when the change in x is positive. Hence the ratio of changes is negative, and the slope is negative.

The various cases are ...

  up to the right: positive slope

  horizontal line: 0 slope

  down to the right: negative slope . . . . what we have here

  vertical line: undefined slope
