Question 605299
When we plot the values as ordered pairs, we get the following scatter plot


<img src="http://www.mathcracker.com/scatterplotimage.php?datax=-6,-4,3,0,-2,-3,-1,1,2,-5&datay=10,5,-7,-2,2,3,0,-5,-6,7&namex=t&namey=n&titl=Scatter%20Plot">


Notice that the points closely fall on a line that slopes downward (as you read it from left to right). So the linear correlation is <font color="red">negative</font>.
