Suppose when the price of hybrid automobiles rises, consumers buy fewer hybrid automobiles. this implies that "there is a negative relationship between hybrid automobile prices and quantities purchased by consumers" (A).

A negative relationship implies that there is a backwards connection between two variables - when one variable reductions, alternate increments. The other way around is a negative connection as well, in which one variable increments and alternate decreases.
