Your Notes Homework Example 3 Identify Direct Variation The table gives sample cell phone bills, showing the total monthly cost and the number of minutes used per month. Tell whether total cost and the number of minutes show direct variation. If so, write an equation relating c and m. Total cost, c (dollars) 35 45 80 15 28 Minutes used, m 100 129 229 43 80 solution Find the ratio of c to m for each data pair. 35 } 100 15 } 43 5 0.35 45 } 129 28 < 0.35 } 5 0.35 30 Checkpoint Complete the following exercise. 3. Tell whether the data (21, 22), (1, 2), (3, 6), (5, 10), (7, 14) show direct variation. If so, write an expression relating x and y. direct variation; y 5 2x 80 < 0.35 } < 0.35 229 The ratio of c to m in each pair is nearly the same , so the data show direct variation . Substituting 0.35 for k in c 5 km gives the direct variation equation c 5 0.35 m, which relates the total cost to number of minutes used. 42 Lesson 2.6 • Algebra 2 C&S Notetaking Guide Copyright © McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company

Scatter plots and correlation<br />

Goal p See correlation in a scatter plot and find a<br />

best-fitting line.<br />

Vocabulary<br />

Scatter plot A graph of a set of data pairs (x, y)<br />

used to determine whether there is a relationship<br />

between the variables x and y<br />

Positive correlation A set of data pairs (x, y) for<br />

which as x increases, y tends to increase<br />

Negative correlation A set of data pairs (x, y) for<br />

which as x increases, y tends to decrease<br />

Relatively no correlation A set of data pairs (x, y) for<br />

which there is no obvious pattern between x and y<br />

Best-fitting line The line that most closely models<br />

the data shown in a scatter plot<br />
