Visualize correlation matrices

The correlation matrix generated in the previous exercise can be plotted using a heatmap. To do so, you can leverage the heatmap() function from the seaborn library which contains several arguments to tailor the look of your heatmap.

df_corr = df.corr()

sns.heatmap(df_corr)
plt.xticks(rotation=90)
plt.yticks(rotation=0)

You can use the .xticks() and .yticks() methods to rotate the axis labels so they don't overlap.

To learn about the arguments to the heatmap() function, refer to this page.
