The answer is equal to.
In the function y = 2x + 1, the y intercept is the +1.
In the graph, the y intercept is also +1.
1 = 1, therefore they are equal.
When r is closest to 1, it is a strong positive correlation. When r is closest to -1 it is a strong negative correlation. When r is about 0.8 or anything similar, it is a weak positive. Similar to if r is -0.8 it would be a weak negative correlation. Hope this helps.
