A negative relationship between variables x and y means that as x increases, y decreases (or vice versa). Both Figure A and Figure C show this pattern: in Figure A, the line slopes downward from left to right, indicating that as x increases, y decreases. Similarly, in Figure C, the curve slopes downward as we move from left to right, again indicating a negative relationship.
