would the correlation between x and y in the table below be positive or negative find the missing value of y in the table. x 1 2 3 4 y 4 3 2 ?
\n" ); document.write( "how would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression
\n" ); document.write( "if a line of best fit is placed among these points plotted on a coordinate system would the slope be positive or negative
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that y decreases by 1 as x increases by 1.
\n" ); document.write( "So slope = -1
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "y values : 4 3 2 1
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Linear regression:
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that y would be 5 if x = 0
\n" ); document.write( "So y = -x+5
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is negative
