The graph of $y(x)=-x^2+bx+c$

The graph of $y(x)=-x^2+bx+c$ is shown below. Determine the signs (+ or -) of $b$ and $c$.

enter image description here

$a=-1$ so the parabola opens downwards, but we can already see that from the given figure. How can we determine the sign of $b$ and $c$? Thank you in advance!
