A negative correlation
A correlation coefficient has a range of -1 to 1. Any number outside of this range has been incorrectly calculated. I note that is you meant to ask - Is r= -0.626 is a very strong correlation coefficient? then the answer No, this value is not a strong indicator that a linear relationship exists. Please see related link. The diagrams showing x-y graphs and the correlation coefficients is a good way to gain a "feel" of the coefficients and strength of relationships.
If measurements are taken for two (or more) variable for a sample , then the correlation between the variables are the sample correlation. If the sample is representative then the sample correlation will be a good estimate of the true population correlation.
Evidence that there is no correlation.
They can be positive correlation, negative correlation or no correlation depending on 'line of best fit'
