Negative, because Correlation and slope have the same direction (Sxy will be negative)
Answer:
Proved See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Man this one is a world of its own :D Just a quick question are you a fellow Add Math student in O levels i remember this question from back in the day :D Anyhow Lets get started
For this question we need to know the following identities:

Lets solve the bottom most part first:

Take LCM

now break the LCM

because 1/tan = cot x
and furthermore,

now we solve the above part and replace the bottom most part that we solved with 

Hence proved! :D
Divide top and bottom by any number that's fits into both of them keep doing that until it's not possible Hope that helped Have a good day! :-)
1. Slope 3/4, through (4,-1)
y = 3/4 x + b
-1 = 3/4(4) + b
-1 = 3 + b
-1 - 3 = b
-4 = b
y = 3/4 x - 4
2. Slope = - 1/2, through (3,0)
y = -1/2 x + b
0 = -1/2(3) + b
0 = -1.5 + b
0 + 1.5 = b
1.5 = b
y = -1/2 x + 1.5
By solving 1 & 2
no solution.
