It depends completely on the specific scatter plot. Do you have an image? If the scattering is moving upwards as you go right on the x-axis it is a positive correlation.
Answer:
#3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line follows an inverted slope format, indicated by -2/3. Or down 2, and 3 to the right after going up by 4, creating the line. The other equations would flip the line horizontally because of a positive slope.
X^2=x+12
minus x+12 both sides
x^2-x-12=0
factor
(x-3)(x+4)=0
set each to zero
x-3=0
x=3
x+4=0
x=-4
x=3 or -4
answer is first one
