Algebra 1 Scatterplots

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books.  Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages. 

• 12 chapters

• 15 chapters

• 18 chapters

• 21 chapters

Find the slope for the trend line using points (2,2) and (4,3)

• 2

• 1/2

• -2

Which statement best describes the relationship shown in this scatter plot?

• Students with a bigger shoe size earn a higher math score
