Question

Susan found the equation of the best fit line for the data shown in the scatterplot. The slope of the line of best fit is

Answer 1

Negative

For high values of y, the values of x are low and similarly, high values of x have low y values. Therefore, this kind of relationship between the two variables is considered negative.
