Since [r = —1], there is a perfect linear relationship between those two variables (i.e. a deterministic relationship) and they have a negative association (one variable tends to decrease as the other increases). For example, the data
[x 1 2 3 4 5 y 13 11 9 7 5]
has a correlation of —1 since it follows the line [y = 15— 2x] (which is strictly decreasing function, so the association is negative). Here is a picture of the data:

Result:
For example, a set of data
[x 1 2 3 4 5 y 13 11 9 7 5]
has a correlation -1.
