Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive correlation: The term positive correlation is defined as a particular relationship between two different variables in which both the variables move towards a similar direction or in tandem. It exists as one variable increases then the other variable increases too and therefore if one variable decreases then the other variable will decrease as well.

In the question above, the given statement represents a positive correlation.
