Answer:

The graph I expect to have a negative correlation is the third graph.

Explanation:

Positive correlation is when the the x-values increase with a corresponding increase in y-values.

Negative correlation is when the x-values increases with a corresponding decrease in y-values.

No correlation is when only x or y variable changes.

From the graphs given the only one that has a negative correlation is the third graph.
