Correlation Correlation Correlation A line of can be used to help describe the patterns in a scatterplot, and allow predictions to be made. Draw a line of best fit in the graphs above for positive and negative correlation. This is not a dot-to-dot! Keep your line. Try to get half of the points your line, and around half of the points your line. The, denoted by the letter, is a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between two variables. The correlation coefficient takes on values ranging from to. A correlation coefficient of -1 means the points form a line with negative corrleation.
