The correlation coefficient (R) measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. However, in this case, we only have one variable (Y) as it is solely an equation for Y in terms of x.
Given the equation Y = (3/2)x + 6, we can see that Y is completely determined by x through a linear relationship, meaning that the correlation coefficient between Y and x is perfectly 1 or -1 (depending on the slope of the line).
Therefore, the correlation coefficient, R, for this data is 1.
Find the correlation coefficient of the data using technology (such as GeoGebra). Round your r-value to two decimal places, if necessary.
Y = 3/2 x + 6
R =
