I didn't know the answer peoples-its a multiple choice question

no relationship since you have a zero slope

D
actually, there is not enough information in this problem to yield an answer
the question does not tell what type of graph
if the graph is a simple x-y plot with a variable parameter as x and a response as y, then it means that the response was exactly the same no matter what the variable was set too
so if you were measuring temperature at all kinds of pressures, and no matter what pressure you set your apparatus to, you got the same exact pressure, then you would conclude no relationship
I believe D is the answer they want, even though it is an incomplete question

A. Strong, direct. Something has to be causing you data to all fall into the same category and it has to have a strong direct relationship to do so.

The details is incomplete. The purpose of data gathering should be stated. A perfect horizontal line may mean so much for a certain event but may be void to other events.

if you already know the answer why ask the question
