The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books. Use the line of best fit to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 140 pages.

• 12 chapters

• 19 chapters

• 14 chapters

• 21 chapters

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books. Use the line of best fit to predict how many pages would be in a book with 6 chapters.

• 100 pages

• 170 pages

• 60 pages

• 20 pages

You are analyzing a scatter plot that has a negative correlation. What is true of the of the x and y values?
