The correlation coefficient is independent of change of origin and of scale (only magnitude).
We rewrite the equation 3x + 4u + 7 = 0 as u = (-3/4) x - 7/3
Thus there is a perfect negative correlation between u and x.
So correlation between u and y = [ - 0.6 X (-3/4) ] / | -3/4|
= (- 0.6) X (- 1) = 0.6
