Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Games and ranges from 0 to 7 in 1 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled points and ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The graph is titled Points per Game. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 210 right parenthesis.

The average basketball points per game for Player 1 are displayed in the graph. Player 2’s average points per game are represented by the equation y=35x. Which player had the highest average points per game? Enter 1 for Player 1. Enter 2 for Player 2.

Answer 1

To determine which player had the highest average points per game, we need to compare the values of the y-coordinate (points) for the same value of the x-coordinate (games) for each player.

For Player 1, the points per game values are as follows:
(0, 0)
(3, 90)
(5, 150)
(7, 210)

For Player 2, the points per game values are given by the equation y=35x.

Comparing the values for the same x-coordinate (games), we can see that Player 1 consistently has higher points per game than Player 2. Therefore, Player 1 had the highest average points per game. Enter 1 for Player 1.
