To determine the correct graph, we first need to plot the given data points \((x, y)\) on a scatter plot.

Given data points:
\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
x & y \\
\hline
2 & 3 \\
3 & 5 \\
4 & 6 \\
5 & 9 \\
6 & 11 \\
7 & 13 \\
8 & 15 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

Now, let's check the provided options:

- **Option A**: Points plotted are (2,3), (3,6), (4,5), (5,9), (6,13), (7,11), and (8,15).
- **Option B**: Points plotted are (2,15), (3,13), (4,11), (5,9), (6,6), (7,5), and (8,3).
- **Option C**: Points plotted are (2,3), (3,5), (4,6), (5,9), (6,11), (7,13), and (8,15).

Based on the given data points, the correct option should match the points \((2,3)\), \((3,5)\), \((4,6)\), \((5,9)\), \((6,11)\), \((7,13)\), and \((8,15)\). 

Clearly, **Option C** matches the given data points exactly.

So, the correct graph is **Option C**.

Would you like details or have any questions? Here are 5 questions you might want to ask:
1. How do you interpret a scatter plot?
2. What is the next step after plotting a scatter plot?
3. How do you determine if there is a correlation between x and y values?
4. Can you explain how to fit a line to the scatter plot?
5. What are some applications of scatter plots in real-world data analysis?

**Tip**: When plotting points on a scatter plot, ensure that each point's coordinates are correctly matched to avoid any errors in interpreting the data.
