SECTIONS B Chapter 2
Objectives To draw scatter plots. To find and use prediction equations. Using a graphing calculator to graph lines of regression.
Scatter Plot Time (in minutes)Depth (in cm) Emily measured the depth of water in a bathtub at two-minute intervals after the tap was turned on. The table shows her data. Make a scatter plot for the data.
Scatter Plot How do we create a scatter plot? 1. If a table is not created, create a table containing all the data. 2. Plot each row of your data as (x, y) coordinates.
Scatter Plot Time (in mins) Depth (in cm)

Scatter Plot A scatter plot is a graph made by plotting _______________ in a coordinate plane to show the ______________ between two sets of data. ordered pairs relationship When real-life data is collected, the points graphed usually do not form a straight line, but may ____________a linear relationship. When this is the case, a ____________ can be drawn. approximate best-fit line
Best-fit Line
Prediction Equation A prediction equation can be found by using a similar process that we have used to determine an equation of a line when given two points. We can use the predication equation to estimate, or _______, one of the variables given the other. predict
Prediction Equation Steps: 1. Find 2 points on your best-fit line. 2. Find the slope 3. Use point-slope form (4, 8) and (18, 38)
Objectives To draw scatter plots. To find and use prediction equations. Using a graphing calculator to graph lines of regression.
Graphing Technology You can use a graphing calculator to draw scatter plots and a line that best fits the points in the scatter plot. This line is called a regression line.
