    strong negative linear correlation

    Explanation:

    Correlation coefficient is used in statistics to describe a relationship between two variables. A negative correlation describes the extent to which two variables move in opposite directions i. e. an increase in a variable is associated with a decrease in the other variable.

    Correlation coefficient is between - 1 and 1.

    -1 shows a perfect, linear negative correlation, and 1 shows a perfect, linear positive correlation.

    In this example, - 90 shows a strong negative correlation.
