We want to estimate whether the correlation coefficientr is closer to -1,-0.5,0,0.5, or 1. In order to that, we can start with drawing a line through the plotted points as closely to the middle as we can. Let's do it!
Since the points quite precisely follow the line with a negativeslope,r is close to -1.
