To find the correlation coefficient r for a linear equation, we recognize that the given equation y=43x4 represents a perfect linear relationship between x and y. In this case, the correlation coefficient r will be either 1 or -1, depending on the positive or negative slope of the line.

Since the slope of the equation (43) is positive, the correlation coefficient r will be:

r=1.00

Therefore, the correct response is:

1.00
