**`r emo::ji("check")` two numeric (continuous) variable**

## Description 

Grouped scatter-plots display the relationships between two continuous variables across a *third* categorical variable.

The `x` and `y` position displays the relationship between the two continuous variables, and color is used to distinguish between the categorical levels.

## Set up

## Grammar


::: {style="font-size: 1.15em; color: #1e83c8;"}
**CODE:**
:::

  - Create labels with `labs()`

  - Initialize the graph with `ggplot()` and provide `data`

  - Map `bill_length_mm` to the `x` axis 

  - Map `flipper_length_mm` to the `y` axis  

  - Map `species` to `color` inside the `geom_point()`
