A.The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases.

B.The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases.

C.The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases.

D.The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases
