Answer: Negative linear association

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data it can be seen that as the value of x increasing , the values of y decreasing.

Thus there must be a negative association between the variables.

Also, the rate of change of Zoo Ticket Price with respect to the the number of persons:

[tex]m=\dfrac{14.50-1500}{2-1}=-0.50[/tex]

We can see that the rate of change of -0.5 Ticket Price per person is constant.

Since m is negative and constant.

Therefore, there must be negative linear association.
