Answer:

Weak negative correlation

Explanation:

The scatter plot shown in the graph above indicates a negative correlation between the x-variables and the y-variables, because, as the variables on the x-axis increases, the variables on the y-axis decreases.

Also, the if we are to draw a line of best fit to connect some of the data points on a straight line, we would see that a number of the data points would be far apart from each other away from the line. The data points are not much clustered around the line of best fit, therefore, this shows that the negative correlation between the variables is a weak one.

The data represented on the scatter plot show a weak negative correlation.
