I can’t see the four images you attached. To pick the one with r = −1 you want the scatterplot where all the points lie exactly on a single straight line with a negative slope (a perfect downward linear relationship, no scatter around the line).
Ways you can proceed:
- Describe each plot briefly (e.g. “points form a perfectly straight line downwards”, “points roughly trend down but with scatter”, “no clear trend”, “perfect straight line upward”) and I’ll tell you which is r = −1.
- Or upload the images again.
- Or give the data coordinates for any plot and I can compute r for you.
If you want to check yourself: pick the plot that shows every point exactly on one straight line that slopes down from left to right. That plot corresponds to r = −1.
