On a chart, this relationship would be represented as a downward-sloping line on a graph where the x-axis represents the flavor rating, and the y-axis represents the dependent variable. As you move along the x-axis (increasing flavor rating), the line would slope downwards, indicating a decrease in the dependent variable. The slope of the line would be steep, given the large negative coefficient, showing a relatively strong inverse relationship.

What if I have a negative coefficient (-45) for flavor rating and the trend line for Quantity Sold is almost horizontal instead of a downward slope?
