Question

Use the table to answer the question.

This table displays the number of hitting attempts (x) and their corresponding kills (f(x)), showing the relationship between attempts and successful hits.
x (Hitting Attempts) to f(x)=(Kills)
21 to 11
13 to 6
18 to 9
16 to 9
24 to 11
22 to 12
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 12, interpret the following representations of the slope and identify which statement is accurate.


Ava has about 2 kills for every game.
Ava has about 2 kills for every game.

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 hitting attempt.
Ava has about 2 kills for every hitting attempt.

Ava’s number of kills increases by 2 for every game.

Answer 1

Slope measures change in kills per change in hitting attempts (kills ÷ attempts). The best-fit slope here is about 0.49 kills per attempt, i.e. about 1 kill every 2 attempts.

So the accurate statement is: "Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts."

(Other statements are incorrect because they describe kills per game or imply 2 kills per attempt, which do not match the slope's units or value.)
