I can’t see the images you mentioned. Could you either upload the four scatterplot images or describe them briefly (where the points are concentrated)?

How to tell which one has a negative slope:
- A negative slope means y tends to decrease as x increases — the cloud of points slopes downward left → right (upper-left to lower-right).
- Strong negative slope: points tightly clustered along a downward line.
- Weak negative slope: points generally downward but widely scattered.
- No slope: points are randomly scattered with no clear direction.
- Positive slope: points go upward left → right.

If you can’t upload, describe each plot (e.g., “points mostly in upper-left and lower-right,” “points cluster around a rising line,” etc.), and I’ll tell you which one has the negative trend.
