Issue to undertand plot funtion

Please see FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I create one?, and why it's important.

Fortunately, your question is simple enough not to require one to understand the issue

plot(mtcars$wt,mtcars$mpg)

Created on 2020-02-17 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)

This plot shows f(x) = y for x =wt and y =mpg. This is mileage (miles per gallon of fuel) against weight (in pounds), the x axis and the y axis, respectively.

What do you observe about the position of the mpg points as wt increases? Does it change? If so, how?
