If the linear correlation between two variables is​ negative, what can be said about the slope of the regression​ line? Choose the correct answer below. A. Positive B. More information is needed C. Negative

Respuesta :

Answer:

C) Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Correlation:-

Correlation is a statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together

Positive correlation :-

Positive correlation occurs when the two variables of a function move in opposite directions. As the value of 'x' increases ,the Value of 'y' increases. Like wise the value of 'y' decreases, the value of 'x' decreases.

Negative correlation:-

Negative correlation occurs when the two variables of a function move in opposite directions. As the value of 'x' increases ,the Value of 'y' decreases. Like wise the value of 'y' decreases, the value of 'x' increases.

Final answer:-

If the linear correlation between two variables is negative then the slope of the regression line is also positive.
