Question

Adele and Monte are discussing graphs with negative correlation. Adele claims that only graph B has negative correlation. Monte claims that both scatterplots have a negative correlation.
Adele is correct because only lines may have a negative slope.
Adele is correct because the y values increase as the x values decrease in graph A, so it shows a positive correlation.
Monte is correct because both graphs show a strong correlation.
Monte is correct because in both scatterplots, the y values decrease as the x values increase so both have a negative correlation.

Answer 1

Answer - D

Negative co relation means that x and y are inversely proportional.

x decreases then y increases

x increases then y decreases

So, only D option satisfies this condition.

Answer 2

I think that the answer would be D.
