The nonlinear association of a scatterplot depends on whether it has a weak or strong correlation. A scatterplot with nonlinear association will have a strong correlation.

The nonlinear association of a scatterplot depends on whether it has a positive or negative correlation. A scatterplot with nonlinear correlation will have a negative correlation.
