The relationship of the scatter plot plotted is negative linear relationship

What is negative linear relationship

A negative linear relationship refers to a situation where two variables exhibit a linear association and as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other variable decreases.

In a scatter plot representing a negative linear relationship, the points tend to fall along a straight line with a negative slope.

This means that as you move from left to right along the x-axis, the corresponding y-values decrease.
