Answer:

It's all explained below :)

Explanation:

So first we need to go to a graphing calculator! I usually use Desmos to do my stats stuff. You'll wanna head to their linear regression calculator (I can't add a link, but just google Desmos linear regresion and it'll pop up).

Put the points into the table. Lines of best fit have the equation y1 ~ bx1+a, so put that in the box right below the table, where you see another equation already written- just edit it. We see all the other numbers listed below that, so we know that b=-0.894 and a=13.599, so the line of best fit is -0.9x + 13.6 = y when you round those numbers.

The correlation coefficient is represented by the letter r. r is shown below as well, and is -0.964. Strong correlations are represented by a value close to the number 1, so this is strong, as it's very close. It is negative because of its sign. Correlation coefficients don't go over the number 1 or below -1, so be careful. I hope this was helpful! If you need any more clarification just let me know.
