describe a scatter plot

A scatter plot is a type of graph that displays data points as individual dots on a two-dimensional coordinate system. Each dot represents the value of two different variables, with one variable plotted along the x-axis and the other variable plotted along the y-axis. The position of each dot on the graph shows the relationship between the two variables, with patterns or trends often emerging that can help to identify correlations or associations between the variables. Scatter plots are commonly used to visualize relationships between numerical data points and are particularly useful for identifying patterns and trends in large datasets.
