If in the multiple linear model the slope coefficient β_i is negative,it suggests an inverse (negative)relationship between the explanatory variable x_i and the response variable y.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope coefficient represents the change in the response variable y associated with a one-unit increase in the explanatory variable x, while holding all other variables constant. A negative slope coefficient indicates that as x increases, y decreases, suggesting an inverse (negative) relationship between the two variables.
