Select the correct answer below:

If r is positive, then the slope of the line of best fitmust also be positive. Thus, as the dependent variable, x, increases, the independent variable, y, stays constant.

If r is positive, then the slope of the line of best fit must also bepositive. Thus, as the independent variable, x, increases, the dependent variable, y, decreases.

If r is positive, then the slope of the line of best fit must also bepositive. Thus, as the independent variable, x, increases, the dependent variable, y, increases.

If r is positive, then the slope of the line of best fit must be negative. Thus, as the independent variable, x, decreases, the dependent variable, y, decreases.
