Scatter plot example
This example adds a fitted linear trend line to the point cloud and displays the regression equation, R², and Pearson r. The line summarizes the best linear fit; the points remain the underlying observations.

Add a linear trend line with a regression equation, R², and Pearson r to paired XY observations.
For a linear scatter plot, these phrases commonly refer to a straight fitted line that minimizes squared vertical residuals. Vizvero calculates an ordinary least-squares linear regression line.
R² summarizes how much variation in Y is explained by the fitted linear model in this sample. Pearson r summarizes the direction and strength of linear association between X and Y.
