Algebra 3 Lesson 1.9 Objective: SSBAT identify positive, negative or no correlation. SSBAT calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. Standards: M11.E.4.2.1; M11.E.4.2.2
Scatter Plot A graph in which 2 sets of data are plotted as ordered pairs on a coordinate grid When the 2 sets of data have a pattern they are said to be correlated.
Positive Correlation The y-value increases as the x-value increases The graph will go in an uphill motion from left to right
Negative Correlation As the x-value increases the y-value decreases The graph will go in a down hill motion from left to right
No Correlation There is no relationship between the x and y values The points on the graph are just scattered
