The document discusses exploring the relationship between the number of points and segments by creating a scatterplot on a calculator using data from a table. It instructs to identify the best fitting parent function, find a regression equation, and use that equation to estimate the number of points given segments or vice versa.

The number of segments required to connect a given number of points is shown in the table above.
Use your calculator to explore the relationships between points and segments.
1. Create a scatterplot of the relationship on your calculator. 2. Identify the parent function that best describes the data 3. Find a regression equation. 4. Is this problem situation continuous or discrete? 5. Use your equation to estimate the number of points if there are 45 segments. 6. Use your equation to estimate the number of segments if there are 7 points.
