Positive correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will rise from left to right (positive slope) Negative correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will fall from left to right (negative slope) No correlation = no real visible slope, the dots are too scattered to tell.
A slope is positive or negative based on if the line goes from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner or right to left. Left is positive right is negative.
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
If the line slants up and to the right, it has a positive slope. If it is slanting up and to the left, it has a negative slope.
Positive correlation has a positive slope and negative correlation has a negative slope.
