Question

$What plots should I use to describe the relationship between these 8 continuous variables?$

I have a bunch of continuous variables: number of pregnancies, glucose, blood pressure, skin thickness, insulin, BMI, diabetes pedigree function, and age. For the whole project, I'm supposed to be investigating the effect on glucose.

the question is asking me: draw appropriate plots to visually investigate the relationship between these eight variables I'm unsure of what plots I should be producing?

I think I should be using scatter plots and box plots but I'm unsure which variables I should compare, or if I should be using any other type of plot.

You are supposed to use a scatterplot for this. That way you can take analyze every pair of variables and see if there is evidence of a relationship between them.

Since the final goal is to understand the effect on glucose, you should pay special attention to the scatterplots between glucose and each other variable.

Boxplots are not advisable since it wouldn't be meaningful to compare distributions by themselves. For example, the boxplot for age is going to be very different to the boxplot of number of pregnancies, without revealing any relationship between them, even though one would expect number of pregnancies to be related with age.
