Position of tick labels in 2D plots

I have a 2D plot, whose PlotRange is {{0,10},{-5,0}}. Since all the action
takes place in the lower right hand quadrant, I would like the tick
marks and the numbers on the axes to be positioned outside this quadrant:
thus
       2   4   6   8
       |   |   |   | 
     ----------------
     |
 -2 -|
     |
 -4 -|
     |

I am using the Ticks option, to ensure that the tick marks are drawn
above the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis. The tick labels for
the y-axis are automatically drawn to the left of the y-axis, but
those for the x-axis default to below the x-axis.

How can I change this behaviour?
