Scatter Plot (Linear) - Trend to Axis Name (Independent/Dependent) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding scatter plots within the context of linear relationships, specifically identifying the independent and dependent variables in various scenarios. The problems provide descriptions of trends, such as how one variable changes in response to another (e.g., exam length to marks, and temperature to sales). Students are tasked with determining whether a given variable in each case is independent or dependent. This skill is important for analyzing data visually and mathematically, which is crucial in both academic and real-world settings.
