Ava is a middle hitter on her club volleyball team. The table displays the number of hitting attempts she had in the last six games compared to the number of kills, which is when a hitting attempt hits the ground and scores a point. If the slope for the line of best fit is 1/2
, interpret the following representations of the slope and identify which statement is accurate.

(1 point)
Responses

Ava has about 2 kills for every hitting attempt.

Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts.
Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts.

Ava has about 2 kills for every game.

Answer 1

The slope of the line of best fit, which is given as $\frac{1}{2}$, represents the change in the number of kills ($f(x)$) for each change in hitting attempts ($x$).

In terms of the data provided, a slope of $\frac{1}{2}$ means that for every 2 hitting attempts, there is approximately 1 kill.

Based on this interpretation, the accurate statement among the options provided is:

Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts.
