Based on your description of the scatterplot, where the points are plotted in a downward sloping direction from the top left to the bottom right, the correct interpretation would be:
The graph shows a negative association.
This indicates that as the values on the x-axis increase, the values on the y-axis tend to decrease, demonstrating a negative relationship between the two variables.
