The scatter plot represents a group of points that is clearly decreasing at a steady rate, this means that the equation that represents them is a linear equation with negative inclination. A linear equation is given by the following formulla:
![y=m\cdot x+b](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/3vdit4cyikmz0crw73cnwv4b8bte4f6lad.png)
Where m is the inclination and b is the y-intercept. Since the inclination must be negative, the only possible option is A.
