False, your velocity would just be in the negative direction.

Answer: False, I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Well it depends. Its hard to say without a function of the graph. Given a velocity graph, the first derivative is the acceleration.

Negative slope on a velocity graph means you are going in the negative direction. And over time, your velocity per unit of time is also decreasing. That means we are accelerating in the negative direction
