To interpret the slope of the line of best fit, we look at the relationship between hitting attempts (x) and kills (f(x)). Given that the slope is 12, this indicates that for each additional hitting attempt, the expected number of kills increases by 12.
Analyzing the provided options:
-
Ava has about 1 kill for every 2 hitting attempts. - This would suggest a ratio of 0.5 kills per hitting attempt, which is not what the slope indicates.
-
Ava has about 2 kills for every hitting attempt. - This would suggest a ratio of 2 kills per hitting attempt, which is also incorrect because that would imply a slope of 2 or 200 kills for 100 hitting attempts.
-
Ava has about 2 kills for every game. - This does not accurately reflect the relationship defined by the slope, as the slope is not given per game.
-
Ava’s number of kills increases by 2 for every game. - This statement is incorrect since the slope indicates an increase of 12 for every hitting attempt, not per game.
Since none of these options accurately describe the relationship indicated by the slope of 12 working specifically in terms of attempts and kills, the correct interpretation based on the information provided is that:
Ava has about 12 kills for every 12 hitting attempts.
However, this specific option is not available among the choices given. Since none of the options provided interprets the slope correctly, based on the slope being 12, we can conclude that the most closely related correct interpretation should be that for every hitting attempt, she has a proportionate number of kills which may suggest an increase but is not directly clear in the options listed.
If you're strictly choosing from the options provided, all those statements misinterpret or do not reflect the correct relationship derived from the slope.
