Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1.  So, -0.93 is a strong negative relationship.  Two interpretations:  1) the correlation is actually very strong, and 2) the correlation is negative.  When the correlation is negative, the dependent variable DECREASES when the independent variable INCREASES.
