Learning Goal • Students will be able to write and solve linear functions, construct scatterplots, analyze lines of fit, and write arithmetic sequences Learning Target • Students will be able to make scatter plots and write equations to model data
Section 4.4 “Scatter Plots and Lines of Fit” a graph used to determine whether there is a relationship between paired data. Scatter Plot y x
Scatter plots can show trends (patterns) in the data. y y y x x x Relatively no correlation Positive correlation Negative correlation x and y have no apparent relationship. As y tends to increase, x tends to increase. As y tends to decrease, x tends to increase.
Make a scatter plot of the data in the table. Describe the correlation of the data. y-axis The scatter plot shows a positive correlation because as x tends to increase, y tends to increase. 4 3 2 1 x-axis 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Make a scatter plot of the data in the table. Describe the correlation of the data. y-axis The scatter plot shows a negative correlation because as minutes on the treadmill increase, ounces of water in the water bottle decreases. 12 8 Ounces of water in water bottle 4 x-axis 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 Minutes on the treadmill
Modeling Data When data show a positive or negative correlation, you can model the trend in the data using a LINE OF FIT Make a scatter plot of the data. Decide whether the data can be a modeled by a line. (Does it have positive or negative correlation?) Draw a line that appears to fit the data closely. Write an equation using two points on the line. (The points do not have to be actual data pairs, but they do have to be on the line.)
Draw a line of fit for the scatter plot. Write an equation that models the number of ounces of water left in the water bottle as a function of minutes on the treadmill. Write an equation using two points on the line. y-axis 12 Use the points (5,12) and (30,4). 12 – 4 = _8_ 5 – 30 -25 8 Ounces of water in water bottle Find the y-intercept. Use (5,12). 4 y = mx + b 12 = 8 (5) + b b = 68 -25 5 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 x-axis y = 8 x + 68 -25 5 Minutes on the treadmill
