Question

in scatterplot comparing x and y, the y-values are along the vertical axis. the line of the best fit is horizontal. which statement best describes relationship between x and y?

a)as x increases y increases
b)as x increases y decreases
c)as x increases y stays the same
d)as y increases x stays the same

Answer 1

A horizontal line on a scatter plot means that the value for y remains constant over various values of x. To check this out, make your own scatterplot with any value of y.

The same thing happens with x for a vertical line.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
