Question

how is a relationship determined when looking at a scatterplot?

Explanation:

To determine a relationship from a scatterplot, look at the direction (positive if points go up - right, negative if down - right), strength (how closely clustered the points are), and form (linear if points follow a line, non - linear if not).

Answer:

Look at direction (positive/negative), strength (closeness of points), and form (linear/non - linear).
