A correlation coefficient of \(-0.97\) indicates a very strong negative linear relationship between the two variables. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease, and the points will lie very close to a downward-sloping line of best fit.
So, the correct response is:
The points all lie very close to the line of fit, and the line is decreasing.
