Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
r=0 means there is zero correlation between the independent and dependent variables. Most likely, some other regression model will help to bring the value of r closer to -1 or 1 to show a strong correlation.

The other endpoint is (1, -17).
The midpoint formula is:

Using our midpoint and endpoint, we have:

For the first equation (to find the x-coordinate) we will multiply both sides by 2:

Subtract 11 from both sides:
12 - 11 = 11+x₂ - 11
1 = x₂
For the second equation (the y-coordinate) we multiply both sides by 2:

Add 5 to both sides:
-22+5 = -5+y₂ + 5
-17 = y₂
This means that (x₂, y₂) is at (1, -17).
B) If y is the additive identity is 0
