Answer:

-0.89 (i think)

Explanation:

Since the graph seems to be going downwards from the right, it has a negative correlation. And since the data seems to be pretty close together, the correlation must be strong. That narrows the answer down to -0.89

If its wrong then i'm not a smart person, and it's -0.15
