a correlation on a graph is when the line of best fit is positive, negative or none.

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.
A scatter graph may use a positive correlation or negative correlation, to shows points of the graph in either a dipping or climbing line, and is fairly easy to read the data. A zero correlation is when the points are scattered across the graph and this can make seeing the data difficult. It's a bit like "dot to dot" in a children's puzzle book, but without the numbers at the side of the dots!
Since y=14x is a perfect linear relation, the correlation would be 1.
By finding a correlation trend by means of line of best fit.
When you have a scatter graph and you want to find the correlation of it, you draw a line from one corner to the other of the grid.Also, if the categories are to do with the same thing, then it's a positive correlation.
