Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the regression line is the product of the correlation coefficient and the ratio of the standard deviations of y and x. Standard deviations are always positive, so the sign of the regression line slope is determined by the sign of the correlation coefficient.

If the correlation is positive, the slope of the regression line is positive.

_____

In the formula attached, "b" represents the slope of the regression line.

Answer:

x > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function is defined by the set of x-values of the graph of a function.

From the graph attached,

x-values are starting from x > 0 [Since x ≠ 0] and moves towards infinity,

Therefore, domain of the function will be,

(0, ∞) Or x > 0

What is the value of a?-2(a-8)+6a=36

saul85 [17]

$-2(a-8)+6a=36 \\ \\ -2a + 16 + 6a = 36 \\ \\ 4a + 16 = 36 \\ \\ 4a = 36 - 16 \\ \\ 4a = 20 \\ \\ a = \frac{20}{4} \\ \\ a = 5 \\ \\$

The final result is: a = 5.
