Are there any other ways than scatter plot to visually represent the relationship between x and y?
Thanking you,
Irshad
Dear Irshad,
I do not think so. However, you may extend it with useful information visually:
- boxplot/density chart along both axis [1]
- confidence and prediction interval [2]
Best regards,

The short answer is that a scatter plot is the best option to visually represent the relationship between two variables x and y.
It depends on what you are trying to visualize, scatter plots is a good way of visualizing bi-variate data, you can also use Box plots, histogram, Bar Chart , Pie chart, Dot chart and so on to visualize bi-variate data (x,y)
Dear Irshad,
There are some alternatives to a scatterplot. Which one depends on the type of variables you have. If they are both continuous, a scatter is the best way to visualize their relation (if one exists). If one of the variables is categorical, you could consider a conditional box-plot, a conditional density plot or histograms.
If you have two categorical variables, you could try a mosaic plot.
