FAQ
Scatter Plot Maker questions
- How do I create a scatter plot from two columns?
- Put the independent variable (X) in the first column and the dependent variable (Y) in the second, then paste. Both columns being numeric is the signal used to render a scatter plot.
- Can I add a trend line?
- Yes. Enable the trend line option to overlay a least-squares linear regression line on the points.
- What is the difference between a scatter plot and a line graph?
- A line graph connects points in order along a time axis. A scatter plot leaves points unconnected so you can judge the relationship between two variables.
