Scatter Plot (Linear) - Trend to Response Variable (Level 1)
This math topic focuses on identifying the response variable in a linear trend within a scatter plot. It consists of questions that give different trends showing relationships between two variables (e.g., age and weight, class size and grade, temperature and sales). The problems ask students to determine which variable is the response variable based on the described trends, helping them develop their understanding of dependent and independent variables in data relationships.
