The results of a linear regression are shown below. y= ax + b
a = -1.15785
b= 139.3171772
r= -0.896557832
r2 = 0.8038159461
Which phrase best describes the relationship between x and y?

1)Strong Postive Correlation
2)Strong Negative Correlation
3)Weak Positive Correlation
4)Weak Negative Correlation

2) Strong Negative Correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

With the value of r we have both the information about the sign of the relationship and the strength of this relationship.

As the value of r is negative, we can conclude that the correlation between x and y is negative.

Also, as the absolute value of r is close to 1, we can conclude that this relationship is strong.

The strength can also be seen in the value of r2, which is also close to 1, but this value does not give information about the sign.

The value of the slope a, being negative, can also tell us that the relation between x and y is a negative correlation.
