The calculated value of correlation on the graph is - 0.92

How to determine the correlation on the graph

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The image of the scatter plot

On the scatter plot, we can see that

The points appear to be on a straight line

Also, we can see that

As the x values increases the y values decreases

This represents a negative linear association.

However, the points are not perfectly on a straight line

This means that the correlation is greater than -1

In this case, the value is - 0.92
