which of the following graphs shows a negative linear relationship with a correlation coefficient, r, close to -0.5.

In the graph attached there is a sample generated with a correlation coefficient r=-0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A value of r that is -0.5 shows that there is a certain correlation and that this correlation is negative.

As there are no examples in this question, I searched for a generator of random samples with a user-input correlation coefficient between the two variables.

In the graph attached there is a sample generated with a correlation coefficient r=-0.5.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
