Question

use the data table below to create the given scatter plot, then fill in the guided sentence below.

x	0	3	8	2	9	5	1	7
y	9	6	7	9	6	8	7	4

click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.
answer attempt 1 out of 3
positive
negative
the scatter plot shows correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze data pairs

We have data points \((0,9),(3,6),(8,7),(2,9),(9,6),(5,8),(1,7),(7,4)\).

Step2: Observe trend

As \(x\) - values increase from \(0\) to \(9\), \(y\) - values do not show a clear upward or downward trend. For example, when \(x\) goes from \(0\) to \(3\), \(y\) goes from \(9\) to \(6\) (decrease), when \(x\) goes from \(3\) to \(5\), \(y\) goes from \(6\) to \(8\) (increase).

Answer:

negative
