the scatter plot shows
positive linear
positive linear with one outlier
negative linear
negative linear with one outlier
nonlinear
no
correlation because as the plotted values of ( x ) increase, the values of ( y ) generally
.

Explanation:

To determine the correlation, we analyze the scatter plot:

1. Direction of Correlation: As \( x \) increases, the \( y \)-values generally decrease. This indicates a negative relationship.
2. Form of Correlation: The points roughly follow a straight - line pattern, so it is linear.
3. Outliers: There is one point that deviates from the general linear trend (an outlier). So the correlation is negative linear with one outlier. And as \( x \) increases, \( y \) generally decreases.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows negative linear with one outlier correlation because as the plotted values of \( x \) increase, the values of \( y \) generally decrease.
