To create scatterplots for each of the data sets, we will analyze the points given in each data set. Here's a brief description of each data set:

  1. Data Set A:

    • Points: (0, 0), (1, -1), (2, 12), (3, 7), (4, -4), (5, 5)
    • The values fluctuate and do not show a clear linear trend.
  2. Data Set B:

    • Points: (0, 1), (3, 4), (6, 8), (9, 16), (12, 64)
    • This shows a positive relationship, as y-values increase as x-values increase.
  3. Data Set C:

    • Points: (0, 4), (1, 6), (2, 8), (3, 10), (4, 12)
    • This shows a positive linear relationship, as y-values increase steadily with x-values.
  4. Data Set D:

    • Points: (0, -4), (1, -6), (2, -8), (3, -10), (4, -12)
    • This shows a negative linear relationship, as y-values decrease steadily as x-values increase.

Upon analyzing the data sets, Data Set D clearly represents a negative linear relationship.

Thus, the correct response is:

Data Set D.
