The equation y - Zx is an example of: (check all that apply) Negative correlation Positive relationship Curvilinear relationship A straight line Inverse relationship.
Added by Anthony W.
Step 1
- The negative sign in front of Z indicates an inverse relationship between y and x. As x increases, y decreases and vice versa. - There is no indication of a curvilinear relationship as the equation is linear. - The absence of a squared term in x also Show more…

There is a strong direct linear relationship between x and y. c. There is a weak negative linear relationship between x and y. d. There is on linear relationship between x and y.
