to compare dependent
and independent
variables
to plot points to
connect a line

Explanation:

A scatterplot is used to plot points for two sets of data (bivariate data). It helps in organizing bivariate data and visualizing the relationships between the data points. While it can show trends that might imply a relationship (but not directly find the slope as that's a calculation usually done after analyzing the scatterplot's trend), and it's not about comparing dependent and independent variables in a direct sense like that option suggests (it's more about seeing the relationship). Also, it's not specifically to plot points to connect a line (though a line of best - fit might be added later).

Answer:

• to plot points for two sets of data
• to organize bivariate data
• to visualize relationships between data
