Question

identify the trend shown in the image below.
y variable (units)
x variable (units)
positive trend
negative trend
no trend
seasonal trend

Explanation:

As the value of the X - variable increases, the value of the Y - variable decreases. In a positive trend, both variables increase or decrease together. In a negative trend, one variable increases as the other decreases. Since here Y decreases with an increase in X, it's a negative trend. There are no repeating seasonal patterns visible, and clearly, there is a trend present.

Answer:

Negative trend
