The sign of the linear correlation coefficient indicates the direction of the linear relationship between x and y.

When r (the correlation coefficient) is near 1 or −1, the linear relationship is strong.

When it is near 0, the linear relationship is weak.

Among the given choices, regression 2 has the nearest value to 1 at 1.067

Therefore, the answer is Choice 2: Regression 2
