2.If the correlation between two variables is –1.0, the scatter plot would appear along a:

A)   straight line running from southwest to northeast.

B)   a curved line centered in the scatter plot.

C)   straight line running from northwest to southeast.

D)   a curved line running from southwest to northeast.
