Using 192 composite spectra stacked from subsamples of individual SDSS quasar spectra binned in spectral index, αλ, and logarithm of monochromatic luminosity at 1450 Å, log l1450, and modelling separate spectral ranges with superposition of emission lines it was found that: there is a dependence of emission line equivalent width (EW) on αλ (correlation or anti-correlation) for some lines, mostly for those lines for which the Baldwin effect is detected, while for the lines for which the Baldwin effect is not observed any αλ-dependence was found.
