A container of fuel dispenses fuel at the rate of 5 gallons per second. If y represents the amount of fuel remaining in the container, and x represents the number of seconds that have passed since the fuel started dispensing, then x and y satisfy a linear relationship.

In the coordinate place, will the slope of the line representing that relationship have a positive, negative, or zero slope? Explain how you know.
