Construct and Interpret Scatter Plots Practice Test

A student tracked the number of text messages they sent each day and how many minutes they spent on homework that day. If you plot texts sent on the $x$-axis and homework minutes on the $y$-axis, which statement best describes the pattern?

Data pairs (texts, homework minutes):

$(10,65),(20,62),(30,60),(40,55),(50,52),(60,48),(70,45),(80,42)$

A student is making a scatter plot from the data below. The variables are number of text messages sent (x) and hours of sleep (y). Which is the best way to label the axes?

Data pairs (x, y):

(5,9), (10,8), (15,8), (20,7), (25,7), (30,6), (35,6), (40,5), (45,5)
