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.


How can you tell from a scatter plot wheather two variables have a positive correlation a negative correlation or no correlation?
