Answer 3

In a scatterplot with a linear association, the points tend to fall along a straight line. In this case, as the x-values increase, the y-values tend to decrease in a consistent pattern. This indicates a negative linear association, where the variables are negatively correlated. This is shown in the scatterplot by a downward trend from left to right.
