Question

Keith is the leading goal scorer for a team in an ice hockey league. Last season, he scored 42 goals in 82 games. Assuming he scores goals at a constant rate, what is the slope of the line that represents this relationship if the number of games is along the x-axis and the number of goals is along the y-axis?

A. 21/41
B. 22/41
C. 42/23
D. 41/21

Answer 1

C because rise over run. Rise being the X-axis and Run being then Y-axis.

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of goals = 42

Number of games = 82

Let x - axis denotes the number of games.

Let y - axis denotes the number of goals.

We need to find the slope of line that represents this relationship:

So, Slope of line is given by

$m=\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{42}{82}=\dfrac{21}{41}$

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.
