Answer:

the more hotter the star, the more brightly it burns

Step-by-step explanation:

someone just deleted my answer ugh sorry....ill write it again

so, te main sequence is a sequence in mass (and not a sequence in time).

The most massive stars are located at the the top left (since they are the brightest and hottest/bluest). The lowest mass stars are are located at the bottom left ( since they dimmer and cooler/redder).

Following the main sequence from the top left to the bottom right is thus a sequence from high to low mass.
