Question

discuss whether the scatter plot on the right should be modeled by a linear function. should the data shown in the scatter plot be modeled by a linear function? no yes

Explanation:

A linear function models data with a roughly constant, straight-line trend (consistent positive/negative correlation). The scatter plot shows points that do not follow a straight, consistent linear pattern; there is no clear steady increase or decrease, and the points are clustered in a non-linear shape.

Answer:

No
