For the above six graphs circle the correct word applicable to that graph in each column:

Shape of correlation Amount of correlation If linear, the correlation sign is...
A none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative
B none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative
C none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative
D none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative
E none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative
F none | linear | non-linear none | moderate | high not linear | positive | negative

For the following data, determine the slope and intercept of the line that best fits the data:

x y
0 0
20 3
33 6
55 10
  1. Slope = _______________

  2. Y-intercept = _________________

  3. If x = 40, then y = ________________
