Answer 1

To determine which scatterplot would have a trend line with a negative slope, we would typically look for a general downward trend in the data points. A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.

Since I cannot view the images directly, I can't definitively tell you which scatterplot has a negative slope. However, you can identify the scatterplot with a negative slope by looking for the following characteristics:

- The data points should start in the upper left corner and trend downward towards the lower right corner.
- As the values of the x-axis increase, the values of the y-axis should decrease.

If you can describe the scatterplots to me, I might be able to help you identify which one has a negative slope!
