Question

A scatter plot generally shows the dots going from high y values and low x values, to low y values and high x values. Is the slope of the regression line between these two variables positive or negative?Positive. As one variable increases, so does the otherNegative. As one variable increases, so does the otherPositive. As one variable increases, the other decreasesNegative. As one variable increases, the other decreases

Answer 1

we know that

the dots going from high y values and low x values, to low y values and high x values

that means

The slope is negative

As one variable increases, the other decreases

therefore

The answer is

Negative. As one variable increases, the other decreases
