50 points has to be a new answer NOT from any sites. a) Describe how the line of best fit and the correlation coefficient can be used to determine the correlation between the two variables on your graph.

A correlation coefficient shows where one variable changes in results to the other. A line of best fit is the best fit line that passes through or near the graphed data. It is used to describe data and predict where new data will appear on the graph. These two methods help to find correlation between variables as they are used to predict how and where variable are and will go in correlation to one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y
