Affine Transformation Does not Alter Correlation Coefficient

if $X$ and $Y$ are Two Random Variables with Correlation Coefficient $\rho$, Then the Correlation Coefficient of Random Variables
$$ a_1X+b_1\;\text{and}\; a_2Y+b_2$$, Where $a_1$ and $a_2$ are Non Zero Real Numbers with Same Sign is also $\rho$. if They have Opposite Signs, The Correlation Coefficient is $-\rho$.

  1. Ya that's right, I like your way to describe it, an affine transformation is any transformation that preserves col-linearity and ratios of distances. In this sense, affine indicates a special class of projective transformations that do not move any objects from the affine space to the plane at infinity or conversely. An affine transformation is also called an affinity.
