QUESTION:

A scatterplot contains four points: \((-2,-2)\), \((-1,-1)\), (0,0), and (1,1). A fifth point, \((2,y)\), is to be added to the plot. Let r represent the correlation between x and y.

a. Find the value of y so that \(r=1\).

b. Find the value of y so that \(r=0\).

c. Find the value of y so that \(r=0.5\).

d. Find the value of y so that \(r=-0.5\).

e. Give a geometric argument to show that there is no value of y for which \(r=-1\).
