Is the statement 'The slope of a position-time graph can be negative' true or false?
(A) The statement is true.
The slope of a position-time graph represents the velocity of the object.
If the velocity of the object is negative (i.e.,the object is moving in the direction opposite to the chosen positive direction),the slope of the $x-t$ graph will be negative.
