W = unknown number
7w - 8 = 3 (product of 7 and a number, w, subtract 8) is 3
7w = 11
w = 11/7
The variables have a negative association/correlation, because when one value increases (ex: x) the other decreases (see y)
If you would put a line through the dataset most of the points would be quite a bit off the line so the association is only moderate and not strong
so the answer is it is a "moderate negative association"
