When a scatterplot is created from a table of values, which statement is correct?
a. it is possible for two points to have the same x-coordinate and the same y-coordinate.
b. it is possible for two points to have the same x-coordinate, but it is impossible for them to have the same y-coordinate.
c. it is possible for two points to have the same y-coordinate, but it is impossible for them to have the same x-coordinate.
d. it is impossible for two points to have the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
