Visualizing Slope for Infrastructure Planning

Imagine you are an infrastructure planning assistant using a geoboard to model the decline of a new walkway for a construction site. The design specifications call for a slope of 13-\frac{1}{3}. In a brief essay, explain how you would represent this specific slope on the geoboard. Your response must include the specific numerical values for the 'rise' and 'run,' a description of the physical steps required to move from the starting peg to the second peg, and an explanation of what the negative sign indicates about the direction of the line.
