Question 493368: I am taking statistics online and having a lot of trouble with this problem I have been working on it for to long and need to move on to other problems...Thank you so much for your time...Greatly appreciate it a lot

For the table that follows, answer the following questions:Show all work
x y
1 -1
2 -5
3 -9
4

Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?

Find 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?
