Answer 1

Without the actual images to analyze, I can guide you on how to identify a scatterplot that represents a negative linear relationship.

In a scatterplot, a negative linear relationship is characterized by points that trend downwards from left to right. This means that as the x-values increase, the y-values tend to decrease.

Check each scatterplot for this pattern:

• If the points generally form a straight line that slopes downwards, that scatterplot represents a negative linear relationship.
• If the slope is upwards (as x increases, y also increases), then that scatterplot represents a positive linear relationship.
• If there is no clear pattern or the points are scattered randomly, that may indicate no linear relationship.

Based on this information, identify the scatterplot with a downward trend for the correct answer.
