Question

​A scatter plot showing the relationship between two variables shows data points that form a straight-line pattern. What kind of relationship is indicated by this pattern?

Answer 1

Linear relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between a variable and a constant.

Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form;

y = mx + c.

where:

m=slope

c=y-intercept

x and y are variables containing parameters.
