If you drive from new york to dallas and then from dallas to chicago, how many miles would you drive?

Looking online, i see that the distance between New York and Dallas is 1547.2 mi, and the distance between Dallas and Chicago is 967.3 mi.

Then if you go from New York to Dallas, you must drive 1547.2 miles, then you go from Dallas to Chicago, so you drive other 967.3 miles.

Then the total miles traveled are the sum of both travels; this is:

1547.2 mi + 967.3 mi = 2514.5 mi

So the total miles that you drive are 2514.5 mi

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.
