The equation you provided, \( y = 43x - 4 \), is a linear equation, which indicates a perfectly linear relationship between \( x \) and \( y \).
The correlation coefficient \( r \) for a perfectly linear relationship (positive or negative) is either 1 or -1, depending on the direction of the line. Since the slope of the line (43) is positive, the correlation coefficient \( r \) for this equation would be 1.00.
Thus, the correct response is:
1.00
