the scatter plot shows
correlation because as the plotted values of ( x ) increase, the values of ( y ) generally
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data pairs

We have the data pairs \((x,y)\) as \((0,8)\), \((8,3)\), \((3,5)\), \((7,3)\), \((4,3)\), \((5,2)\), \((2,6)\), \((9,2)\).

Step2: Observe the trend

As \(x\) increases from \(0\) to \(9\), \(y\) values: \(8\to3\) (when \(x = 0\) to \(x=8\)), \(5\to3\) (when \(x = 3\) to \(x = 7\)), \(3\to2\) (when \(x=4\) to \(x = 5\)), \(6\to2\) (when \(x = 2\) to \(x=9\)). Overall, as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally decreases.

Answer:

negative
