How can I save a plot to an image file instead of displaying it using Matplotlib in Python?

I’m trying to save a plot generated using Matplotlib to an image file instead of displaying it on the screen. I’m using the plt.show() function to display the plot, but I’m not sure how to save the plot to a file instead. Can someone please provide me with some guidance on how to do this?

Here’s the code that generates a scatter plot:

I would like to save this plot as a PNG image file named “scatter_plot.png”. Can someone please help me modify this code to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your help!
