As the number of hours spent studying increases, the number of incorrect answers decreases. This is indicated by the negative slope (-5.03) of the line of best fit in the equation \( y = -5.03x + 44 \). This negative relationship suggests that with more study time, students tend to get fewer incorrect answers.
The scatter plot below shows the number of hours students in a math class spent studying and the number of incorrect answers they provided on a test. The equation for the line of best fit is
