I am so sorry...
I made a silly mistake and thought the 2 was -2.
But my question remains: Can a negative slope have a positive answer?

Are you referring to the slope of the line JOINING points (1,3) & (2,-1) ?
Please show detail work !

If a line slopes down from left to right, the gradient or slope will always be negative. Is that what you are asking?

Slopes don't have answers. A slope can be negative, 0 or positive.
If you mean can a negative slope be positive, the answer is no.
All slopes that compute to be negative will slant in the same way.
