HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Alya claims that the scatterplot shows a linear correlation. Enrique claims that the scatterplot has no correlation.

Which statement about their claims is true?
A. Alya is correct because the scatterplot clusters about a line with a slope of zero.
B. Alya is correct because as the x-values increase, the y-values remain the same.
C. Enrique is correct because the scatterplot clusters about a curve.
D. Enrique is correct because as the x-values increase, the change has no effect on the y-values.

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Answer 2

Option D is correct.

A scatterplot shows linear correlation when an increase in the one variable leads to change (increase or decrease) in another variable. The Given scatterplot is not showing any pattern. Increase in x-values showing insignificant effect on Y-values. Therefore, Enrique is correct as he says that there is no correlation between X and Y as the change has no effect on y-values.
