C)positively related,with a decreasing slope as x increases. 
D)positively related,with an increasing slope as x increases. 
E)positively related,with slope first increasing then decreasing.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relationship is positive because as x increases, y also increases. The slope is decreasing as x increases, indicating a diminishing rate of increase in y.
