Provide an appropriate response.Sketch a scatter plot for a set of data points for which it would be appropriate to fit a linear function. Then sketch a second scatter plot for a set of data points for which it would not be appropriate to fit a linear function. For the second scatter plot, explain why it would not be reasonable to fit the data points to a linear function.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples will vary. The points in the first scatter plot should be clustered about a straight line. The points in the second scatter plot should be scattered about a curve.
