Clearly, if he plays no games, he scores no goals, so (0,0) is point on the line
the given point is (82,42)
slope = (42-0)/(82-0) = 42/82 = 21/41
(good example of something which makes perfect sense in math,
but makes no sense in reality. Love to see a video of Keith scoring that
1/2 goal )
Keith is the leading goal scorer for a team in an ice hockey league. Last season, he scored 42 goals in 82 games. Assuming he scores goals at a constant rate, what is the slope of the line that represents this relationship if the number of games is along the x-axis and the number of goals is along the y-axis?
