Of course not.
-- Take a washable marker, and give your little sister another washable marker.
-- Stand back-to-back in your bedroom, you facing the front wall, and her facing the back wall.
-- When you say 'GO', both of you draw a straight line on the wall.
Then look at the lines.
-- The front and back walls are parallel planes, but it would be
amazing if the two lines are parallel. One could even be a
horizontal line and the other a vertical one . . . definitely not parallel.
We are asked to determine the correlation factor "r" of the given table. To do that we will first label the column for "Quality" as "x" and the column for "Easiness" as "y". Like this:
Now, we create another column with the product of "x" and "y". Like this:
Now, we will add another column with the squares of the values of "x". Like this:
Now, we add another column with the squares of the values of "y":
Now, we sum the values on each of the columns:
Now, to get the correlation factor we use the following formula:

Where:

Now we substitute the values, we get:

Solving the operations:

Therefore, the correlation factor is 0.858. If the correlation factor approaches the values of +1, this means that there is a strong linear correlation between the variables "x" and "y" and this correlation tends to be with a positive slope.
Answer:
Gradient = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient of a line is the slope of the line.
The standard form of the line equation is y = mx + b
where m is the slope ( or gradient) b is the y - intercept.
Given :
2y = -10x + 1

1. (5x - 2) + 7x = 12x - 2
2. 6(x - 5) > 22
6x - 30 > 22
6x > 52
x > 52/6
x > 26/3
