Answer
The scatter plot shows
correlation because as the plotted values of xx increase, the values of yy generally
.

Answer 1

To create a scatter plot based on the data provided, you would plot the points corresponding to each (x, y) pair:

- (5, 2)
- (2, 7)
- (9, 0)
- (3, 3)
- (4, 6)
- (7, 3)
- (0, 6)
- (1, 7)

After plotting these points on a graph, you would evaluate the correlation between the x values and the y values.

Now, to fill in the guided sentence:

**Answer:**
The scatter plot shows **a negative** correlation because as the plotted values of **x** increase, the values of **y** generally **decrease**.
