A scatterplot, also called a scatter graph, is a type of plot/graph that allows for the use of cartesian coordinates to display data from two variables for a recorded set of data. Each point of data has the value of one variable determining the horizontal, x-axis, position and another value of one variable determining the vertical, y-axis, position. This scatter plot shows distance vs speed, and it shows that as both distance, or speed, increase, the other also increases. This can be seen by the best fit line, which shows the general trend in points by taking averages in all the points.
