To determine the average points per game, we need to find the slope of the line on the graph. Slope represents the rate of change, so the slope of this line will tell us how many points are scored per game.
Looking at the image, we can see that the line passes through (0, 0) and (10, 80). The x-coordinate represents the number of games played and the y-coordinate represents the number of points scored.
To find the slope, we'll use the formula:
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
Let's calculate it:
change in y = 80 - 0 = 80
change in x = 10 - 0 = 10
slope = 80/10 = 8
Therefore, an average of 8 points were scored per game.
slope as unit rate practice
