The weight (in pounds) and height (in inches) for a child were measured every few months over a two-year period. The results are given in the table. A 2-column table with 9 rows. Column 1 is labeled Weight (x) with entries 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 32, 35, 37, 40. Column 2 is labeled Height (y) with entries 22, 23, 26, 30, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38. Using technology, what is the correlation coefficient?

no this is a nonlinear negative

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
