Two variables have a positive+association+when the values of one variable tend to increase as the values of the other variable increase.
Two variables have a negative+association when the values of one variable tend to decrease as the values of the other variable increase.
if the number of times a pencil is sharpened increase, its length will decrease
so, answer is: a negative+association
