Question 615048: 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 ?
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 be positive or negative

------
Notice that y decreases by 1 as x increases by 1.
So slope = -1
-----
y values : 4 3 2 1
--------
Linear regression:
Notice that y would be 5 if x = 0
So y = -x+5
----------
Slope is negative
