Algebra 1 · Exponential Functions & Data

Definition

A scatter plot is a graph of paired numerical data, with each point showing an (x, y) value.

Examples

  • Plot height versus shoe size as points.
  • Each dot is one (x, y) data pair.

Key rule

Plot each pair as a point to reveal a pattern.

Memory hook

Scatter plot = one dot per data pair.
