Answer:

b. negative; as time passes, speed decreases

Explanation:

Given


(x,y) = \{(5, 15), (10, 13), (15, 11), (20, 10), (25, 9)\}

Required

Determine the type of correlation

Split the above values as:


x \to 5,10,15,20,25


y \to 15,13,11,10,9

Notice that as time (x) increases from 5 to 10, and then 15......

Speed (y) value reduces from 15 to 13 .....

The above scenario represents a negative correlation

Hence, (b) is correct.
