Scatterplots are used to visualize the relationship between two quantitative variables, focusing on patterns, direction, form, and strength of the relationship. It's not always necessary to designate variables as explanatory or response for the purpose of a scatterplot, and categorical variables can be incorporated using colors, symbols, or sizes to represent different categories.
