First, only graph's a and b are linear, meaning the change in each step is the same. This eliminates graphs c and d, which are both exponential.
Next, we need to determine which graph is a negative relationship. In a negative relationship, small values of x mean large values of y and large values of x mean small values of y; this also means the slope is negative. This means graph b has all the properties we're searching for.

Graph (b) represents a negative linear association between x and y

A linear equation is represented by a straight line.

This means that graphs (c) and (d) are not linear graphs

For graph A:

As the value of x increases, the value of y increases.

This indicates a positive linear association

For graph B:

As the value of x increases, the value of y decreases.

This indicates a negative linear association

Hence, graph (b) represents a negative linear association.
