To determine the average points per game, we need to calculate the slope of the line passing through the points on the graph.

Using the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Let's choose two points from the graph to calculate the slope:
Point 1: (0, 5)
Point 2: (7, 22)

slope = (22 - 5) / (7 - 0)
slope = 17 / 7
slope = 2.43 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, an average of 2.43 points were scored per game.
