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.

To interpret the slope of the line of best fit, which in this case is \( \frac{1}{2} \), we can understand it as the ratio of the change in the number of kills to the change in the number of hitting attempts.
The slope \( \frac{1}{2} \) indicates that for every 2 hitting attempts, Ava makes approximately 1 kill.
Therefore, the accurate statement from the options provided is:
Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts.
