    The scatterplot above has a Coefficient of Determination of 14%. This tells me the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables are:

    Explanation
    The Coefficient of Determination, also known as R-squared, measures the proportion of the variance in one variable that can be explained by the other variable in a linear regression model. In this case, since the Coefficient of Determination is 14%, it means that only 14% of the variance in one variable can be explained by the other variable. Therefore, the relationship between the two variables is weak. Additionally, since the Coefficient of Determination is positive, it indicates a positive relationship between the variables. Hence, the correct answer is weak, negative.
