Both regression coefficients are negative. Explanation: A negative correlation occurs when the correlation coefficient is smaller than O. Thus if both regressions are negative, the correlation coefficient will likewise be negative. As a result, if the correlation coefficient is negative, both regression coefficients will be negative.
