Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An unlabeled coordinate plane has 40 plotted closed points spread cross its height and width. From left to right, the closed points are at random intervals and move lower and closer together, with the last closed point touching the x-axis.

Based on your description of the graph, it sounds like the closed points are arranged from left to right with diminishing height as they get closer to the x-axis. This suggests that as the x-coordinates increase (moving from left to right), the y-coordinates decrease (moving lower towards the x-axis).

This pattern indicates a negative correlation, meaning that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease. However, since you mentioned that the points are randomized and are not perfectly aligned and have "weak" characteristics, it suggests that the correlation is not strong.

Therefore, the best statement that describes the data illustrated in the graph is:

**The graph illustrates a weak negative correlation between the data.**
