we know that

Correlation is a term that is a measure of the strength of a linear relationship between two quantitative variables

Positive correlation is a relationship between two variables in which both variables move in the same direction and negative correlation is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa

steps you take to find equation for the line that fits best ​

step 1

draw the line that fits best

step 2

take two points from the graph

step 3

Find out the slope

step 4

with the slope and one point, calculate the equation of the line in slope intercept form

y=mx+b
