Kevin went fishing and is using a scatterplot to analyze the relationship between the weight of each of the fish he caught
in pounds and in kilograms. He uses the weight in pounds as the independent variable and the weight in kilograms as the
dependent variable. Which statement is correct?
O The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in
kilograms increases.
• The points on the scatterplot will go up from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in
kilograms decreases.
• The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in
kilograms increases.
The points on the scatterplot will go down from left to right because as the weight in pounds increases, the weight in
