i'm still a bit confused over the 'placement' of ~ていく and ~てくる on a time line. can anyone tell me (according to the attached picture) where should i put both of them, and their past tense, on a time line?
for example
野生動物の数が減っていく。
野生動物の数が減っていった。
野生動物の数が減ってくる。
野生動物の数が減ってきた。
assume the arrow is the time line of animals decreasing, where would each sentence best fit in the time line? (A and F are before and after the progression respectively)
on a totally unrelated topic, ゆっくり means slow, right? which means it's an adjective, right? so which group of adjective does it belong to? because the sentence もっとゆっくり話してください in a past jlpt 4 paper doesn't have a に or く for the adjective, so it's definitely not a い or な adjective.

野生動物の数が減っていった。
野生動物の数が減ってくる。
野生動物の数が減ってきた。
