You really are a fool Chris.
Let me explain that graph to you.
You say you've shown a negative correlation.
You've done nothing of the sort.
You put a bunch of data points into some software and asked it to draw line for you. You asked the software to draw the best fit line it could, and so it did.
It then gave you the lines equation AND the Rsquared value of 0.009 which is so close to 0 that it's not funny. That value of 0 says there is no correlation between the data points and the line you asked it to draw. See your eaier post on Rsquared. If you had actually understood that post instead of just posting the google entry to try to big note yourself you wouldn't have made this mistake.
You're a fraud and the sad part is that it's so obvious the only person you're fooling is yourself.
