Question

the scatter plot shows the line of best fit for the data collected on the height (in meters) and a foot length from toe to heel (in centimeters) of players on a basketball team

Answer 1

Dependent variable = Height

Independent variable = foot length from toe to heal

Explanation:

In a scatter plot, line of the best fit is represented by the line in the form of

y = mx + b

where y is the dependent variable (plotted on y- axis)

and x is the independent variable (plotted on x-axis)

In the given question 'height' has been plotted on y-axis therefore, Height will be dependent variable.

And foot length from toe to heal has been plotted on x-axis therefore, foot length from toe to heal will be independent variable.
