Kevin went fishing and is using a scatterplot to analyze the relationship between the weight of each of the fish he caught in po
unds and in kilograms. He uses the weight in pounds as the independent variable and the weight in kilograms as the dependent variable. Which statement is correct? The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases.
The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases.
The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases.
The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms decreases.
The answer is A.The points on the scatter plot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in kilograms increases, because when the pounds (lbs.) increases, the kilograms (kg.) increase.
