If the points in the scatterplot are grouped closely together and decrease, this indicates a negative correlation. In a negative correlation, as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease. The closer the points are to forming a straight line with a downward slope, the stronger the negative correlation. If the points are tightly clustered around this downward trend, it suggests a strong negative correlation.
