Example 1

Samara is driving from home to college. The following table shows the distance Samara has traveled on the way to her destination, along with the remaining distance she still has to drive. Use the data to make a scatter plot for the distance traveled over time, and describe the correlation. Then make a scatter plot for the distance remaining, and describe the correlation for that plot.
