Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a scatterplot titled Number of Laps the Swim Team Completes Per Week. The x-axis shows weeks ranging from 1 through 10 in increments of one. The y-axis shows number of laps and ranges from 100 to 1,000 in 100 unit increments.
Eight points are plotted on the graph. A kink is shown on both the x- and y-axes close to the origin to indicate a break in the data. The points are plotted at approximate coordinates left parenthesis 1 comma 50 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 150 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 200 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 300 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 500 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 600 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 7 comma 700 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 8 comma 800 right parenthesis.

To interpret the scatterplot based on the described coordinates and the nature of the points plotted, we can analyze the relationship between the number of weeks (x-axis) and the number of laps completed (y-axis).

1. The points increase as the number of weeks increases.
2. As you progress from 1 week to 8 weeks, the number of laps also increases significantly, indicating more laps are completed with more weeks.

Based on this information, the scatterplot shows a **positive linear association**. Therefore, the correct response is:

**The graph shows a positive linear association.**
