An unlabeled coordinate plane has a line with an arrow that begins at the point of origin and moves diagonally upward from left to right. Twenty-five closed points are plotted along the entire length of the line, above, below, and on it.

Based on your description of the line moving diagonally upward from left to right, it suggests a positive correlation. Since there are 25 closed points plotted along the line, above, below, and on it, it indicates that while there is a general trend, the points may vary in their exact positions relative to the line.
Thus, the best statement that describes the data illustrated in the graph would be:
The graph illustrates a strong positive correlation between the data.
