To calculate the average number of heartbeats per second, we need to determine the change in heartbeats divided by the change in time.
The change in heartbeats is 18 - 6 = 12 beats.
The change in time is 12 - 4 = 8 seconds.
Therefore, the average number of heartbeats per second is 12/8 = 1.5 beats per second.
Answer: Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction beats per second
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.
