Answer:

I know im late but here is the answer can i still get breainliest?

Explanation:

a) Your business partner describes this as a high positive correlation. Is your partner correct? Why or why not?

Yes, my partner is correct because as the fat increases the calories increase. And when the points are rising from the left to the right, this indicates a positive correlation.

b) Using the drawing tools, draw a trend line (line of best fit) on the graph above.

it's basically a line that goes up to the right like this /

c) Judge the closeness of your trend line to the data points. Do you notice a relationship between the data points?

This is a linear trend because it moves in a line going up at a predictable rate.

d) Is the trend line linear? If so, write a linear equation that represents the trend line. Show your work.

No, the trend line is not linear, because it squiggles at the end.
