The correlation definitely will be positive and this can be determined by using the equation of regression given.

Given :

Regression equation --- ŷ = –2x + 6.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the correct statement about the correlation:

Step 1 - According to the given data, the equiation of regression is:

ŷ = –2x + 6

Step 2 - So, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 6.

Step 3 - From the above steps, it can be concluded that the correlation is positive because the slope is positive.

Step 4 - But there is no data given in order to determine the strength of correlation.

Therefore, the correct option is C).
