- If the correlation coefficient is -0.53, what is the sign of the slope of the regression line?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: Since the correlation coefficient is negative, the slope of the regression line is negative\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: as the correlation coefficient increases to 1, the points will move closer to the regression line. Remember that a larger correlation coefficient (in absolute value) means a stronger correlation.
