Answer to Question 1

Students should explain that a positive relationship looks like a diagonal line from lower left to upper right. Higher values on X-axis tend to go with higher values on Y-axis, and vice versa.
A negative relationship looks like a line from upper left to the lower right. It means that higher values on one variable go with lower values on the other. Students should then provide a graphical example of each.
