A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y-direction. You want to balance the magnetic force with an electric force so that the proton will continue along a straight line.
The electric field should be in the direction.

Negative z-direction.

Explanation:

We need to determine the direction of the magnetic force. Since the velocity of the proton is in the positive x direction, and the magnetic field is in the positive y direction, we know by the vectorial formula (or, alternatively, with the left hand rule) that the magnetic force points in the positive z-direction (also taking into account that the charge is positive), so the electric field should be in the negative z-direction to balance it.
