A scatter plot displays the relationship between horsepower and weight for individual cars, with each circle representing a car model. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `scaleLinear`, `extent`, `axisLeft`, `axisBottom`, and `csv` to load and map data from an auto-mpg dataset. Points are rendered as SVG circles with partial opacity, and the chart includes labeled axes, grid lines, and a title. The code runs within a React starter framework and draws to an SVG element using margins for layout.
