Given the variables y and x

If these variables have a negative linear correlation, the slope of the graphic (correlation coefficient) will be negative:

ρ<0

If the variables x and y have a positive linear correlation, the slope of the graphic will be positive:

ρ>0

If the variables x and y have are not correlated, the slope of the graphic will be zero:

ρ=0

For the given graph, the variable y increases together with the variable x, the slope of the graph is positive.

So you can conclude that there is a positive correlation between these two variables.
