Scatter Plot (Linear) - Trend to Axis Name (Explanatory/Response) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding scatter plots and identifying types of variables in linear trends, such as explanatory and response variables. Students are asked to determine whether a given variable in a described linear relationship scenario (like temperature or seeds affecting another variable) acts as the explanatory variable or the response variable. This practice is essential for analyzing data and interpreting graphs, which are fundamental skills in statistical analysis.
