which statement is true regarding the traits of scatter plots the strength of a correlation is independent of whether the correlation of a scatter plot is positive or negative a scatter plot with positive correlation can have either weak correlation or strong correlationthe slope of a line is independent whether the correlation of a scatter plot has a positive or negative correlation we scatter pot with a negative slope can have either positive correlation or negative correlation. the non-liner association of the scare pot depends on whether it has a weak or strong correlation is scattered pot like non-linear association will have a strong correlation the non-liner association of a scatter plot depends on whether it has a positive or negative correlation a scatter plot with non-linear correlation will have a negative correlation

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
