Use scatter plots to represent two quantitative variables and fit functions to model relationships.
Identify the direction of association in a scatter plot of two quantitative variables
Problem
What is the direction of association in this scatter plot description: as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally increases?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Direction asks how the point cloud moves overall as you read from left to right. Track whether typical y-values rise, fall, or show no consistent change as x increases, and keep that directional classification separate from whether the pattern is straight or curved.
