Question

Which statement best describes the data in a scatter plot where the Y values are decreasing as the x-values are increasing

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the option for which the value of the function will be increasing, with the increasing variable.

Vertical line means the value of the x is constant, for any y. Hence, it is not the answer.

Horizontal line represents constant functions. Hence option B can not be the answer.

The data having a positive slope represents a increasing function with the increasing variable. Vice-versa for the data having a negative slope.

That is why option D will be the answer.
