A scatter plot is a graph which shows a relationship between two sets of data. In this case, the x and y data. The scatter plot shown has a linear type of trend. It has a positive slope which means that as the value of x increases, y increases or as x decreases, y decreases as well. this type of trend is also called a positive correlation. Common examples are:
- The longer your hair, the more shampoo needed.
- More gasoline in your car, the farther you can travel
- the more time you exercise thus the more calories you will burn.
