What sort of trend is shown in the scatter plot?

Without seeing the scatter plot, I cannot determine the specific trend. However, in general, a scatter plot can show a positive trend (as one variable increases, the other variable also increases), a negative trend (as one variable increases, the other variable decreases), or no trend (random distribution of data points).

Answer: The scatter plot shows a decreasing trend. The points are arranged in a roughly linear pattern, with the points getting lower as the x-axis values get higher. This indicates that there is a negative correlation between the two variables.
