A scatter plot is used to represent the relationship between two continuous variables. The independent variable is plotted on the x-axis, the dependent variable on the y-axis, and a trend line is added to show the direction and strength of the relationship between the variables. Paired bar charts, histograms, and pie charts are used to represent different types of data, but are not appropriate to use for plotting two continuous variables.
