One part of Clare’s job at an environmental awareness organization is to answer the phone to collect donations. The table shows the number of hours she worked each week, \small x, and the amount of donations in dollars, \small y, that the organization collected each week for 10 weeks. The data in the scatter plot suggest a linear association. A line to model the data is given by \small y=12x+41. Describe the correlation between the variables as either strong or weak and as either positive or negative. Explain your reasoning.
