Since the y-axis represents the number of heartbeats and the x-axis represents time in seconds, the average number of heartbeats per second can be calculated by finding the slope of the resting heart rate line.
From the graph, it looks like the resting heart rate line passes through the points (0, 6) and (12, 6).
To find the slope, we use the formula: slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
In this case, the change in y is 0 (since the y-coordinate doesn't change) and the change in x is 12 (since the x-coordinate ranges from 0 to 12).
So the slope is 0/12 = 0.
Therefore, the average number of heartbeats per second is 0 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.

Sorry for the confusion. Based on the information given, the average number of heartbeats per second cannot be determined solely from the graph. The graph only shows the resting heart rate line, but it does not provide information about the number of heartbeats during other time intervals. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined from the image provided.
