Question

try to draw a line to approximate the points in the graph. is the correlation between the variables positive or negative? explain.
it is positive because the slope is negative
it is positive because the slope is positive.
it is negative because the slope is negative
it is negative because the slope is positive

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, if the points tend to rise from left to right, the correlation is positive. A positive correlation means that as the \(x\) - values increase, the \(y\) - values also tend to increase. The slope of the line of best fit for a positively correlated data set is positive.

Answer:

It is positive because the slope is positive.
