Incline और decline उल्टे हैं — incline ऊपर की चढ़ाई, decline नीचे की ढलान। Sales, health या ताक़त नीचे जाए तो decline। उल्टा ascend, increase, grow है।

INCLINE and DECLINE are opposites: an incline goes up, a decline slopes down. When sales, health or strength go down, they decline. The opposite is ascend, increase or grow.
