Scatter Plot: Just plot the points on an x/y coordinate system.
I can't show you that on this site.
-------------------------------
*Would the correlation between x and y be positive or negative?
Ans: Positive: y increases as x increases.
-------------------------------
*How would you interpret these data in terms of linear regression
y = 2x-3.6 is the "least-squares linear approximation".
