Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Description of the Graph

1. The Relation between , Speed and time is depicted on the graph.

2. Minute = x coordinate

Miles per hour= y coordinate

The points shown on the graph , describing the relationship are, (5,15),(10,13.8),(15,11),(20,10),(25,9.8).

There are two types of Correlation

Positive Correlation= With Increase in x value, y value also increases or vice versa, we call it positive correlation.

Negative Correlation= With Increase in x value, if y value decreases or vice versa, we call it negative correlation.

As you can see from the points plotted on the graph ,with increase in x value , y value decreases.So it is negative correlation.

As, time passes, Speed Decreases, So it is a Negative Correlation.

Option B Negative ,as time passes, speed decreases.
