A negative correlation highlights the similarity of opposites. In a negative correlation, as the value of variable a increases, the value of variable b decreases. It can work the other way too, as the value of a decreases, the value of b increases.
A negative correlation is also routinely referred to as an inverse.
For instance, every time a person goes to jail, there is one less person in the work force.
Therefore, incarceration rates, and work force numbers have an inverse relationship.

The graph follows a very strong downward trend. Would have helped if you specified which correlation coefficient; there are different types.
What are characteristics of negative correlation?
A negative correlation means that two variables are inversely related. This means that as one variable increases the other decreases. When a negative correlation is plotted, it forms a downward slanting line.
In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased the other factor?
In a negative correlation as one factor is decreased, the other factor is increased.
What is the maximum and minimum value of the correlation coefficient?
The correlation can be anything between +1 (strong positive correlation), passing through zero (no correlation), to -1 (strong negative correlation).
