Which term best describes the association between variables A and B?
1 answer:
Answer: Choice B) negative linear association
=================================
Reasoning:
The points all go downhill as you move from left to right. We can draw a straight line that is fairly close to all of them. This is known as the regression line. The regression line having a negative slope tells us the linear association is negative. This means the correlation coefficient r is negative, so, (r = -1 is not possible as not all points fall on the same straight line)

Answer:
The lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
Remember that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
<em>Find the slope of the first line</em>
we have the points
(-3,-1) and (1,-9)
substitute in the formula
<em>Find the slope of the second line</em>
we have the points
(1,4) and (5,6)
substitute in the formula
Simplify
<em>Compare the slopes</em>
Find out the product
therefore
The lines are perpendicular
