Constructing Scatterplots

Question 5 • Pre-Algebra B

When a scatterplot is created from a table of values, which statement is correct?

Answer
A
It is possible for two points to have the same x-coordinate and the same y-coordinate.
B
It is possible for two points to have the same x-coordinate, but it is impossible for them to have the same y-coordinate.
C
It is possible for two points to have the same y-coordinate, but it is impossible for them to have the same x-coordinate.
D
It is impossible for two points to have the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate.

Explanation

Each row of a table gives one ordered pair, which is plotted as a point on the scatterplot. Different rows can contain the same x-value and the same y-value, so they can produce points with identical coordinates; therefore, it is possible for two points to have the same x-coordinate and the same y-coordinate.
