I don’t see the image—can you re-upload it or paste it here?

Meanwhile, quick guidance so you can pick the best choice yourself:
- If the points lie almost exactly on a straight line sloping downward, the correlation is near -1 (choose -1 or -0.98).
- If they slope downward but are noticeably spread out, the correlation is moderately negative (choose about -0.60).
- If they slope upward, pick a positive value (0.60 here).

So:
- choose -1 or -0.98 for an almost perfect negative linear pattern,
- choose -0.60 for a moderate negative pattern,
- choose 0.60 only if the trend is clearly positive.

Upload the plot and I’ll pick the best numeric answer.
