When the slope (b) is zero, r will also be zero. This is because the correlation coefficient r measures the linear relationship between two variables, and if there is no slope (i.e., no change in the y-variable with respect to the x-variable), then there is no linear relationship to measure. Therefore, r will be zero in this case.

If the Slope (B) Is Zero, the Value of R________
