Hmmmm...we agree that a car would accelerate down an incline,
if a force acting 'uphill' were not holding its speed steady.
We see that this retarding force varies with the throttle so we are
confident that the car is supplying this retarding force.
We see that this force acts opposite the motion, so we say by convention
the work is negative.
