Detailed Solution

The reaction's activation energy will rise in the presence of a negative catalyst.

Negative catalysts are those that slow down the rate of reaction.

By raising the activation energy barrier, which reduces the amount of reactant molecules that may be converted into products, the rate of reaction is slowed down.

Both the forward response rate and the reverse reaction rate will be reduced by the same amount.
