If in fact, as you have said, there is no correlation between the variables, then

neither one cares what the other is doing, and the question has no answer.

Is the slope of a line positive when doing linear regression if the correlation coefficient is negative?

No, the slope of a line in linear regression cannot be positive if the correlation coefficient is negative. The correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables; a negative value indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases. Consequently, a negative correlation will result in a negative slope for the regression line.


What is a dependnent variable?

A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.

What is definition and examples of dependent variable and independent variable?

I'm doing a science project on if fingerprint patterns are inherited? what is the control, independent variable and dependent variable? An ''independent variable is a ''variable which is presumed to affect or determine a dependent ''variable. independent variable is typically the variable being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated.'''''' Example; In price and sales relationship one can manipulate price to check its effect on sales, so sale is dependent and price is independent variable.

In a correlation between student cumulative GPA and the number of hours spent on school work each week which one would be the x variable?

When one is likely to be the cause of the other, you generally make it the x variable. Y is the dependent variable. In this case, the correlation would indicate that more time doing schoolwork leads to a higher GPA. Schoolwork is the x, or independent variable. GPA is the y variable, because grades depend on doing schoolwork.
