Answer:

Graph C (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Four different graphs

To find:

the graph that shows a positive linear relationship with a correlation coefficient, r, close to 1

A negative correlation is a graph where an increase in one quantity leads to a decrease in the other quantity. The graph declines

A positive correlation is a graph where an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in the other quantity. The movement is from left to right (rises)

For the correlation coefficient to be close to 1, the points will be close to the slant straight line.

The graph which satisfies the above is Graph C (option C)
