the variables move in inverse, or opposite, directions. In other words, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases

The direction of a correlation is either positive or negative. In a negative correlation, the variables move in inverse, or opposite, directions. In other words, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.Feb 16, 2015

@smart200 I hate when people give me smartical answers that are harder to read than the question, So if you were to throw skittles down the stairs what would they look like? Yup, they'd bee falling from somewhere high and going to somewhere low. (hope that helps!)

OpenStudy (jakyfraze):

Sorry I meant, @laylalayla09

OpenStudy (crabbyoldgamer):

A negative correlation means as one variable increases, the other decreases. For example: x= -y is a function with a negative correlation. When x is 1, y is -1. When x is 100, y is -100. The bigger x becomes, the smaller y becomes.

OpenStudy (crabbyoldgamer):

A negative correlation looks like, if you graph it, a line or curve moving down from left to right.
