Which of the following graphs shows a negative linear relationship with a correlation coefficient

Answer : Graph D

Question says negative linear relationship. It means the slope is negative.

Option A and C have positive slope because the dots on graph goes up.

So we ignore A and C graph

B and D graphs have negative slope.

Given Correlation coefficient r is close to -0.5

In Graph B the dots are close to one another . It means the correlation coefficient r is close to - 1

Graph D shows a negative linear relationship with a correlation coefficient r close to =-0.5

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

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
