Question 611131: - If the correlation coefficient is 0.97, what is the sign of the slope of the regression line?
- As the correlation coefficient increases from -0.78 to -0.74, do the points of the scatter plot move toward the regression line, or away from it?

Ans: The set of points would be less linear. They would move
away from the regression line.

Hi,
- If the correlation coefficient is 0.97, what is the sign of the slope of the regression line? 
- As the correlation coefficient increases from -0.78 to -0.74,
do the points of the scatter plot move toward the regression line, or  from it?
Note: |-.74| < |-.78|, the lesser the correlation, the more the scatter
