Question

1) Write an equation for the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) y = (-13/6)x + (37/3)

2) -⅔

3) negative

Step-by-step explanation:

1) slope = (1.5-8)/(5-2) = -13/6

y = (-13/6)x + c

x = 2, y = 8

8 = (-13/6)(2) + c

c = 37/3

y = (-13/6)(6) + (37/3) = -⅔

2) y = (-13/6)x + (37/3)

3) since the slope is negative, the association between the variables is negative
