Brainliest + points! show work find the correlation coefficient of the line of best fit for the points (-3, -40) (1, 12), 5, 72) and (7, 137)

the correlation coefficient of the line of best fit  is, 0.98247.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation Coefficient are used to find how strong relationship between the data. It expressed its values between +1 and -1. It is represented by r.

* if 0<r<1 indicates a strong positive relationship.

* -1<r <0 indicates a strong negative relationship.

* r=0 indicates no relationship at all.

The formula for this :

Given the data: (-3, -40) , (1, 12), (5, 72) and (7,137)

Here, n = 4

To calculate the correlation coefficient r;

Substitute the values of data in above formla of r , as shown in the Figure 1:  

then;                  

or    

or

Therefore, the correlation coefficient r is, 0.98247 (Positive relationship)

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
