Use the image to answer the question.
A graph shows an x-axis representing time in seconds ranging from 0 to 12 in increments of 2. The y-axis represents heartbeats ranging from 0 to 18 in increments of 3. The graph shows a line representing resting heart rate. The line passes through the following plotted points: left parenthesis 4 comma 6 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 6 comma 9 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 10 comma 15 right parenthesis; and left parenthesis 12 comma 18 right parenthesis.
What is the average number of heartbeats per second?

The total change in heartbeats is 18 - 6 = 12 beats.
The total change in time is 12 - 4 = 8 seconds.
Therefore, the average number of heartbeats per second is 12/8 = 1.5 beats per second.
The correct answer is:
Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction beat per second
1 - 3/2
2 - 1 1/2 beats per second
3 - D
4 - Graph C
5 - The relationship is proportional.
