Answer:

The graph represent a scatter plot between variable A on the horizpntal line and the variable B on the vertical line.

A line of best fit is a straight line drawn through the maximum number of points on a scatter plot balancing about an equal number of points above and below the line.

As shown by graphinf a line through the maximum number of points, balancing about an equal number of points above and below the line, we can deduce that:

The line of best fit drops from left to right, so the variables have a negative correlation.
