Question 478778: Construct a scatterplot for the (x, y) values below, and answer the following questions. You do NOT need to submit your scatterplot with your answer; however, show all other work.
x--------y
1-------0.5
2-------1.0
3-------1.5
4-------2.0
5-------2.5

- What would be the slope of this regression line?
- Would the correlation between x and y be positive or negative?
- How would you interpret these data in terms of linear regression?

Thank you

Scatter Plots cannot shown on this site.
--------------
x--------y
1-------0.5
2-------1.0
3-------1.5
4-------2.0
5-------2.5

I ran a Linear Regression progam against the data to get the following;
Equation: y = (1/2)x
------------
- What would be the slope of this regression line?:::(1/2)
---------------------
- Would the correlation between x and y be positive or negative?::
positive: r = 1
-----------------------
- How would you interpret these data in terms of linear regression?
The data falls on the line y = (1/2)x
