Based on your description of the scatterplot, you mentioned that the points are grouped together and increase slightly. This indicates that there is a clustering of points, and it suggests a positive relationship between the variables (as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase).

Therefore, the true statement about the scatterplot would be:

The scatterplot has a cluster, and the variables are related. As x increases, y increases.
