if the plots are on the bottom half of the graph, it’s negative right?
What kind of a plot do you mean?
If you are talking about a scatterplot, going from upper left to lower right would be negative.
yes that’s what i was talking abt, thank you psydag!
No, the position of plots alone does not determine whether the values are positive or negative. The position of a plot on a graph depends on its coordinates, which consist of an x-coordinate (horizontal position) and a y-coordinate (vertical position).
To determine whether a plot represents a positive or negative value, you need to consider the sign of the y-coordinate. If the y-coordinate is above the x-axis (the horizontal line on the graph), then it represents a positive value. Conversely, if the y-coordinate is below the x-axis, it represents a negative value.
The position of the plots relative to the x-axis (top half or bottom half of the graph) indicates their magnitude, not their sign. For example, if a plot has a negative y-coordinate and is located in the bottom half of the graph, it means the value is negative and has a magnitude lower than the positive values on the same graph.
