The term linear refers to a straight line, and r measures how well a scatterplot fits a straight-line pattern. O B. The term linear refers to the straight line that passes through the greatest number of points, and r measures the fraction of the points the line passes through. O C. The term linear refers to a straight line that passes through the average values of the paired data, and r measures how well a scatterplot fits a straight-line pattern. O D.
