I agree with both of your answers.

The correlation is negative because r is negative.

The negative correlation is weak because it is closer to r = 0 than it is to r = -1.

Answer:

Explanation:

El índice indica una dependencia total entre las dos variables denominada relación directa: cuando una de ellas aumenta, la otra también lo hace en proporción constante. Si 0 < r < 1, existe una correlación positiva. Si r = 0, no existe relación lineal. ... Si r = -1, existe una correlación negativa perfecta.
