Answer 1

Four graphs are shown below:

Scatter plot A shown with data points that move in an upward direction and are located at 1 and 0.3, 2 and 1, 3 and 2, 4.1 and 4, 5.2 and 6.1, 5.9 and 9.5. Additional points are located at 4.6 and 5, 5.8 and 7.4, 5.2 and 7.1. Scatter plot B is shown with data points that move in an upward direction and are located at 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 3 and 5, 4 and 6, 5 and 6, 6, and 7, 7 and 8, 8 and 9. Scatter plot C is shown with data points that move in a downward direction and are located at 1 and 8.7, 4 and 5.6, 5 and 4.3, and 6 and 0.5. Additional points are located at 5.9 and 1.5, 5.5 and 3.5. Scatter plot D is shown with data points that move in a downward direction and are located at 0 and 7, 1 and 6, 2, and 5, 3 and 4, 4 and 3, 5 and 4, 6, and 5.

Which graph represents a negative linear association between x and y?

Graph A
Graph B
Graph C
Graph D

Answer 2

@Jadedry

Answer 3

So, negative association means that as x increases, y will increase. (Or vice versa)

Which graph do you think it is?

Answer 4

On top of it, which graph is linear?

Answer 5

answer choice B

Answer 6

Why do you think that?

Answer 7

because its a linear

Answer 8

And what about negative association?

Answer 9

it nonlinear

Answer 10

there are two linear graphs in your answer choices.

Answer 11

One has positive association and one has negative association.

Answer 12

i kno i chose answer answer B because of what u help me on

Answer 13

The answer is D.

It is linear, and as x increases, y decreases.

Answer 14

wait huh how can you explain please im kind of confused

Answer 15

Alright:

Positive association: as x increases, so does y. (Alternatively, as x decreases, so does y)

Negative association: as x increases, y decreases. (alternatively, as x decreases, y increases. )

You can clearly see B and D as linear. (their points form a straight line.(

however, D has negative association, which makes it the right answer.
