Organizing Data for Scatter Plots

What is a scatter plot?

• A graph that shows the relationship of two data sets.

• A graph drawn using rectangular bars to show how large each value is.

• A graph that shows information that is connected in some way.

• A graph that shows data changing over time.

• y = x ; 20
• y = x + 2 ; 22
• y = 2 ; 2
• y = 0.5x + 2 ; 12
