To interpret the slope of the line of best fit, we need to understand that the slope represents the change in the number of kills (f(x)) for each additional hitting attempt (x).
In this case, the slope is given as 12. If we interpret this correctly in the context of the data:
- The slope of 12 means that for each additional hitting attempt, Ava averages about 1 kill for every 12 hitting attempts, meaning she doesn't score 2 kills for every hitting attempt nor does she score 2 kills for every game.
Given this, the most accurate representation of the slope in the context provided would be:
Ava has about 1 kill for every 12 hitting attempts.
However, that option is not listed among your responses, and based on the options you provided, none of them correctly reflect the meaning of the slope as 1 kill for every 12 hitting attempts. The best fit among the responses would be that the slope indicates Ava's performance in terms of hitting attempts to kills.
If we assume an approximate interpretation could be made, such as the pattern or average ratio of successes to attempts, but based on the options provided none correctly assert this from the information given about the slope of 12.
