Suppose there is a relationship between independent and dependent variables represented by a scatterplot. Which statement is correct?
Wyatt wants to study the relationship between the number of siblings that a student has and the student’s grade-point average using a scatterplot. He believes that if the points form a straight line, then there is a relationship between the two variables. Which scatterplot proves that Wyatt’s statement is not always true?




A graph shows the horizontal axis numbered 1 to 5 and the vertical axis numbered 1 to 5. Points and a line show a downward trend.

A line of best fit is drawn for the set of points shown on the graph.

The equation for the line of best fit is f(x) ≈ 1.8x − 5.4 for the set of values in the table.

The table shows the height, in meters, of an object that is dropped as time passes until the object hits the ground.A line of best fit for the data is represented by h = –21.962x + 114.655. Which statement compares the line of best fit with the actual data given by the table?

Which best describes the strength of the model with an r-value of –0.93?
Which describes a correct way to construct a scatterplot?
