r is a correlation (it actually stands for regression).
R (upper case) is a multiple correlation. But you only have one predictor,
so it's a correlation.
R squared is R (or r), squared. So -0.7450433^2 = 0.555.

The p-value doesn't tell you about the strength of the relationship.

I can suggest a number of books that do this much better than I could in an
email. But you probably have a favorite of your own.
