The number of grams of calorie-free sodium in a restaurant meal is compared to the total number of calories in the meal. The correlation coefficient relating the two variables is 0.74.

C:It is a strong positive correlation,and it is not likely causal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation refers to the relationship between the two variables i.e x and y. It has mainly two types of correlation. The first one is positive and the other one is negative. It lied between -1 to 1. The 1 represents the strong positive correlation while the -1 represents the strong negative correlation

Since the correlation coefficient is 0.74 which is nearest to 1 so it denotes the strong positive correlation and thus is not causal

Hence, the correct option is c.

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
