In a positive correlation, both variables increase together. An example of this is a company's profit's relationship with its sales. The greater the sales, the greater the profit.
A negative correlation is where one variable decreases with increase in the other. An example is the time taken to reach somewhere and the speed traveled at. The faster you move, the less the time.
No correlation means the two variables are not related. An example of this is as you get older, it does not mean you will get better grades.
Answer:
dilated coordinates are A(-18,-3) and B(-6,-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
distance of new segment is 15 units
distance formula = 
I hate rounding.
Let's call the diagonal x. It's the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are the rectangle sides.
According to the problem we have a length x-4 and a width x-5 and an area
82 = (x-4)(x-5)
82 = x^2 - 9x + 20
0 = x^2 - 9x - 62
That one doesn't seem to factor so we go to the quadratic formula

Only the positive value makes any sense for this problem, so we conclude

That's the exact answer. Did I mention I hate rounding? That's about
x = 13.6 meters
Answer: 13.6

It's not clear to me this problem is consistent. By the Pythagorean Theorem the diagonal satisfies

which works out to

That's not consistent with the first answer; this problem really has no solution. Tell your teacher to get better material.
This is like the equivalent to a jar with 4 green balls and 6 white balls, where you are picking 3. (The 4 green balls signify the friends from kindergarten.)
You want to solve the probability that the first two balls are green and the third is white.
First draw --> 4 green out of 10 balls --> 4/10 = 2/5
Second draw --> 3 green out of 9 balls --> 3/9 = 1/3
Third draw --> 6 white out of 8 balls --> 6/8 = 3/4
2/5 x 1/3 x 3/4
= 6/60
= 1/10
so the answer is 1/10 (or 10%)
