Question

what shape do the points in the scatter plot appear to form? line curve none

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scatter plot points

Looking at the points in the scatter plot, as the amount of rain (x - axis) increases, the number of floods (y - axis) generally increases in a way that the points seem to lie close to a straight - line pattern. There is a linear trend where the points are aligned such that a straight line could be drawn to approximate their distribution. A curve would imply a non - linear, curved pattern, and "none" would mean there is no discernible pattern, but here the points show a linear trend.

Step2: Compare with options

The options are line, curve, or none. Since the points have a linear trend (they seem to form a straight - line - like pattern), the correct option is line.

Answer:

A. line
