    The slope is defined as the change in y/change in x ...

    The y variable is the dependent variable, the x variable is the independent variable (you plug in values of x to get your y).

    Given, the independent "x" change is increasing (or + ) and the dependent "y" change is decreasing (-),

    your slope is: (-) / (+) = (-).

    If they were both increasing ... (+) / (+)

    or both decreasing (-) / (-)

    the slope would be positive.
