always true about a scatter plot with a positive trend? Choose two

Question

The point will form a straight line••

As the x value increases the y value increases

The point will show a general upward trend left to right on the graph••

There will not be any outliers

Correct me

Answer 1

I'd go with the second and third choices.

That the scatter plot has a positive trend tells you that you have a line of best fit with a positive slope. This satisfies both the second and third statements.

The first answer assumes that all points on the graph fall exactly on the line of best fit, which is incredibly unlikely and can never be guaranteed. Similarly, you cannot guarantee that there are no outliers.

Answer 2

A positive trend increases y and x.

The point wouldn't form a straight line because it is a scatter plot and it would have outliers.

For further help look up "scatter plot with positive trend" and go to images. It makes more sense with a picture.
