A negative linear association is when the relationship between two variables is negative and follows a straight line pattern - as one variable increases, the other decreases in a consistent manner.

A non-linear association is when the relationship between two variables is not linear and does not follow a straight line pattern. This could include relationships that are curved or have other irregular patterns.

A linear association is when the relationship between two variables is linear and follows a straight line pattern - as one variable increases, the other increases in a consistent manner.

No association is when there is no apparent relationship between two variables, meaning changes in one variable do not correspond to changes in the other variable.
