Hello!

As we can see, our a value, which would be the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex], which determines our slope, is negative, meaning that this whole line is negative.

Furthermore, the correlation can be determined using the r value of the linear regression, which is around -0.9.

If the r value of the linear regression is close to 1 or -1, let's say around |r| > 0.8, then we can consider the regression a strong correlation, meaning that this is a strong negative correlation, which is answer choice A.
