The homoscedasticity assumption is met when the variance of the error terms (i.e., the distance from the points to the regression line) is constant across all levels of the independent variable. This means that the scatterplot of the residuals (errors) versus the predicted values should show an even spread across all values of the independent variables, indicating that the variance of the errors is the same across all values of the independent variable.
