Answer:

m < 0, b < 0

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line graph can be represented by;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

As we can see, we have an intercept on the negative y axis

What this mean is that the value of b is less than zero

For the slope, what we have is a falling graph

Whenever a graph is falling from left to right, it shows that the rate of change between the variables is negative. Accordingly, we can confirm that the value of the slope is less than zero
