“Negative times a negative is a positive”
Yes it can be a direct variation. it follows the form y = kx
The only variable that cannot be held constant is F, but we can hold the mass constant and vary the acceleration OR we can hold the acceleration constant and vary the mass. Either one would work, but the easiest would be to vary the mass and hold the acceleration constant since we are all pulled by the same action gravity

<u>Answer-</u>
<em>A. strong negative correlation.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
<u>Direction of a relationship</u>
- Positive- If one variable increases, the other tends to also increase. If one decreases, the other tends to also. It is represented by positive numbers(i.e 0 to 1).
-
Negative- If one variable increases, the other tends to decrease, and vice-versa. It is represented by negative numbers(i.e 0 to -1)
<u>Strength of a relationship</u>
- Perfect Relationship- When two variables are linearly related, the correlation coefficient is either 1 or -1. They are said to be perfectly linearly related, either positively or negatively.
- No relationship- When two variables have no relationship at all, their correlation is 0.
As in this case, correlation coefficient was found to be -0.91, which is negative and close to -1, so it is a strong negative correlation.
