Question

does this scatter plot show a positive trend, a negative trend, or no trend?

Explanation:

A positive trend in a scatter - plot means that as \(x\) increases, \(y\) also increases. A negative trend means that as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases. In this scatter - plot, the points are randomly distributed. There is no clear pattern of \(y\) increasing or decreasing as \(x\) increases.

Answer:

no trend
