4x + 6 = 9 is the equation
Answer:
A. negative correlation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let two variables x and y, the correlation coefficient r measure to what degree the variables x and y are related.
--- If this coefficient is positive then the relationship will be positive. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce an increase in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a line of positive slope.
--- If this coefficient is negative then the relation will be negative. This means that even an increase in the variable x will produce a decrease in the variable y. In the dispersion diagram the points will be grouped, simulating a negative slope line.
In the diagram shown it can be noted that as the variable x increases the variable y decreases.
Therefore it can be concluded that the correlation between x and y is negative. The correct option is option A
Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)=4^1 - 1 = 3
f(4) = 4^4 - 1 = 255
rate of change = 
(255 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 252 / 3 = 84
4 because 1/4 is basically dividing by 4
