Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: A linear correlation scatter plot is one which is aimed at establishing a graphical view of the relationship between two quantitative variables. A linear correlation scatter plot could either be positive which is depicted by a positive gradient which infers direct proportionality, this means an increase in variable A results in increase in variable B while a decrease in variable A results in decrease in variable B. Similarly, it could also exhibit a negative gradient which infers a inverse proportionality meaning a decrease in one variable leads to increase of the other and vice-versa. Hence, a linear scatterplot does not only exhibit direct proportionality.
