Slope is rise over run (or vertical over horizontal).

In this case, your dealing with the budget constraint, so you want the price of good Y (vertical) over the price of good X (horizontal). The budget constraint slopes downward (negative) so it's multiplied by -1. The answer is A.

The marginal rate of substitution is the slope of an indifference curve.
