I dont understand this sentence : Draw a scatter plot that shows a person's height and his or her age, with a description of any trends.
My question is what does it mean by trends?
------
Plot the points.
If they look like a line, does the line rise to the right
or does it decend to the right?
-----
If they look like a curve, does it rise and then fall
or does it fall and then rise as it goes to the right?
------
"Trend" answers the question, "How does height change as age increases?".
