Why is it that zero order and first order reactions have a negative slope, but second order reactions don't?

In a zero-order reaction, concentration decreases over time (linear with slope -k).

In a first-order reaction, ln/concentration decreases over time (linear with slope -k).

In a second-order reaction, 1/concentration decreases over time (linear with slope k).
