Use the tables to create scatterplots and determine which scatterplot shows a linear association?
x 5,8,2,4,6,12,10,1,3,7 y 550,800,250,500,500,400,650,150,400,750
x 5,8,2,4,6,12,10,1,3,7, y 550,800,250,300,700,1000,650,300,100,700
The scatterplot that shows a linear association is the first one.
The scatterplot for the second set of data does not show a clear linear pattern, whereas the first scatterplot shows a general upward trend as x increases.
