Question

What type of association does the graph show between x and y?

Linear positive association

Nonlinear positive association

Linear negative association

Nonlinear negative association

Answer 1

nonlinear negative association because the graph is nonlinear and going down

Answer 2

Nonlinear negative association

The graph is by no means linear. You can see that it has a bit of curve near the beginning.

Also, if you were to find the slope of the mainly linear line, you would find that it has a negative slope. You can also tell that it is negative because the y-values are decreasing as x values are increasing. And the slope is found by change in y over change in x. Therefore, the slope would be negative.
