To determine which scatterplot represents a negative linear relationship, look for the plot where, as the x-values increase, the y-values tend to decrease.
If you recall what the scatterplots look like or remember their trends:
- A scatterplot showing a downward trend indicates a negative linear relationship.
- A scatterplot showing an upward trend or no clear trend indicates a positive or no linear relationship, respectively.
Based on this description, select the scatterplot that has the points trending downwards as you move from left to right.
If you don't have the ability to visualize the scatterplots, I can't select one for you without seeing them. However, with the description above, you should be able to identify the correct scatterplot based on the relationship trend exhibited.
