Answer:

no trend

a positive trend would start in the bottom left and go toward the top right

a negative trend would start at the top left and go town the bottom right

this is an example of no trend

Explanation:

a "trend" shows an increasing or decreasing relationship between the x and y values, in this they don't have any sort of relationship. you can tell by the repeating y values for multiple different x-values, or the repeating x-values for multiple different y-values.
