Concept:

Coefficient of correlation 

Where byx and bxy are regression coefficients or the slopes of the equation y on x and x on y are denoted as byx and bxy

Calculation:

Given byx = - 8

r = - 

We know that, r = √(byx × bxy)

∴ -  = √(- 8 × bxy)

Squaring both sides we get,

 = -8 × bxy

∴ bxy = -
