For each of 20 action movies, two averages were found: the average rating from movie critics and the average rating from the general public. The relationship between the average rating from critics (c) and the average rating from the general public (g) is modeled by the equation below. What does the slope of this linear model suggest about the sample of action movies?

c=−0.42g+4.09

(Movies were rated on a scale of 0 to 5, with 5 representing the best possible rating.)
