If a function Y is dependent on X. if X increases in value then Y also increases then we call this a positive relationship. If X increases in value then Y decreases or vice versa then we call this a negative relationship.

How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?

This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).

Can a position time graph tell in which directionthe displacement of an object is?

Yes, a position-time graph can tell you the direction of the displacement of an object. If the slope of the graph is positive, the object is moving in the positive direction. If the slope is negative, the object is moving in the negative direction.


What shows a correlation which may be positive or negative between two sets of data?

I believe you are asking how to identify a positive or negative correlation between two variables, for which you have data. I'll call these variables x and y. Of course, you can always calculate the correlation coefficient, but you can see the correlation from a graph. An x-y graph that shows a positive trend (slope positive) indicates a positive correlation. An x-y graph that shows a negative trend (slope negative) indicates a negative correlation.


What is the trend of a graph?

The trend of a graph is the slope of any line on the graph that indicated a positive or growth factor and/or a negative or decaying factor. If the slope goes negative, the graph's line will go down thus indicating decay. If the slope becomes positive, the graph's line will go up thus indicating growth.


What is the relationship between neggative positive and positive negative?

Negative number and positive numbers are all numbers. Negative numbers are just positive numbers multiplied by -1.
