The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of friction defines as directly proportionate with the resisting force, which is the frictional force. Hence, if there seems a decrease at coefficient of friction, then it is sure that the frictional force decreases.

We know that the frictional force on a body, is the product of coefficient of frictions and the normal forces acting on the body. Note that friction acts only, if a body is in contact, and it is of three types, static, kinetic and rolling.
