Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Games and ranges from 0 to 7 in 1 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled points and ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The graph is titled Points per Game. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 210 right parenthesis.

The graph displays the number of points scored and the number of basketball games played. Determine the average points per game.

Answer 1

To determine the average points scored per game, we can use the total points scored and the total number of games played.

From the points plotted on the graph:

• At 0 games, 0 points are scored: (0, 0)
• At 3 games, 90 points are scored: (3, 90)
• At 5 games, 150 points are scored: (5, 150)
• At 7 games, 210 points are scored: (7, 210)

To find the average, we can take the last plotted point (which gives us the total points and total number of games played) since it will give a clear average over all games.

Total points scored: 210
Total games played: 7

Now, calculate the average points per game:

Average points per game = Total points / Total games = 210 points / 7 games = 30 points per game.

So the answer is:

An average of 30 points were scored per game.
