Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, if the points follow a general downward trend (as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases), it indicates a negative correlation. When the points are closely clustered around an imaginary line (showing a clear pattern), it is a strong correlation. Here, the points show a downward trend (negative) and are relatively close to each other (strong).

Answer:

a strong negative correlation
