use the image to answer the question

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

(0,0), (3,90), (5,150), (7,210)
an average of _ points were scored per game

Answer 1

To find the average points per game, we need to calculate the slope or rate of change between any two points on the graph.

Let's take the points (0,0) and (7,210) to calculate the average:

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
Slope = (210 - 0) / (7 - 0)
Slope = 210 / 7

Therefore, the average points per game is 30.
