I'm sorry, but I cannot view images directly. However, I can help you determine the type of trend line based on common characteristics seen in scatterplots.

  1. Linear Trend Line: If the points appear to cluster around a straight line, a linear trend line would be appropriate.

  2. Exponential Trend Line: If the points rise or fall rapidly and then level off, an exponential trend line might be the best fit.

  3. Quadratic Trend Line: If the points form a U-shape or an inverted U-shape, then a quadratic trend line would describe the relationship well.

  4. Logarithmic Trend Line: If the data points increase quickly and then start to level off, a logarithmic trend line may fit the data.

If you can describe the general pattern of the scatterplot, I could provide more specific guidance on which trend line to choose.
