Question 416944: Use this table to answer the following questions:
x y
1 -1/4
2 -1/2
3 -3/4
4 ???

Between x and y, would the correlation be positive or negative?

What is the missing value of y in the table?
How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?

If a "line of best fit" is placed among these points plotted on a coordinate system, would the slope of this line be positive or negative?

Hi

 y = (-1/4)x  negative correlation

 y = (-1/4)*4 = -1

 y = (-1/4)x is a function representative of a line

 Slope of this line is = (-1/4) and is < 0 or negative
