Answer:

Negative correlation.

Explanation:

Negative correlation means that as x increases, y decreases

Positive correlation means that as x increases, y also increases.

No correlation means that neither of the two above cases happens.

In the graph, we can see that on the right (when x is negative) the general y values are larger.

As x increases, the y-values decrease.

(Particularly, we could adjust these data with a linear equation with a negative slope)

Then this is a negative correlation.
