Question

On a graph, points are grouped closely together and increase.
Determine if there is a correlation and slope for the scatterplot.
positive correlation, positive slope
positive correlation, negative slope
negative correlation, negative slope
no correlation, undefined slope

Answer 1

Based on your description of the points being "grouped closely together and increase," it suggests that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase. This indicates a positive correlation. Additionally, since the points are increasing, the slope of the line of best fit would also be positive.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**positive correlation, positive slope**
