Answer:

Strong negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

n the scatter plot attached below, as the variable in the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis decreases. Thus, if a line of best fit is drawn, it would show a line that slopes downwards to our right. This shows a negative correlation between both variables in the scatter plot.

Also, we also see that the data points represented on the scatter plot are clustered more closely along the slope, showing strong negative correlation.

Therefore, the phrase that best describes the scatter plot is: strong negative correlation.

Answer: 8 weeks

explanation: 125 + 15x = 245

You then have to subtract 125 from both sides so we can isolate our variable which will give us 15x = 120 . Divide 15 from both sides : 15x/15 = 120/15 which will give us x = 8.
