Scatter Plot
A scatter plot is a type of data visualization that displays the relationship between two variables. Each point on the scatter plot represents a pair of values, with one value on the x-axis and the other on the y-axis. Scatter plots are useful for showing the relationship between two variables and can be used to identify patterns or trends in the data.
To create a scatter plot, you need to:
- Determine the variables: Identify the two variables you want to compare.
- Create the scatter plot: Draw a graph with the x-axis and y-axis.
