Answer:
Many have answered "deceleration" which is probably what you're looking for, but a negative acceleration doesn't necessarily mean something is slowing down.
When a ball is dropped, we often use a negative acceleration to denote the fact that it is accelerating in the downward direction. It is, however, speeding up.
I would say that an object slowing down is decelerating, but I wouldn't say an object decelerating necessarily has a negative acceleration.
Negative acceleration really means accelerating in the negative direction. Maybe you can get a bonus for pointing this out.
