Linear Regressions and Scatterplots

Find the equation of the line of best fit for the given data

• y = 163.41x+1.49

• y =- 163.41x+ 4.19

• y =- 4.19x+163.41

• y = 4.19x -163.41

Two variables have a positive association when

• the value of one variable tends to increase as the other variable increases.

• the value of one variable tends to increase as the other variable decreases.

• the value of one variable tends to increase regardless how the other variable change.

• the values of both variables are always positive.

Answer explanation

Both variables move in the same direction although the numbers are negative.
