Question

What does the slope tell you for every additional minute Carlos plays his score blank by about blank points? OPTION 1: The rate at which the score increases per minute of play. OPTION 2: The total points accumulated by Carlos during the game. OPTION 3: The number of minutes Carlos needs to play to win the game. OPTION 4: The average score Carlos achieves for each game session.

Answer 1

The slope tells us the rate at which Carlos's score increases per minute of play.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the independent and dependent variables. It tells us how the dependent variable (y) changes for every one-unit increase in the independent (x) variable, on average. In this context, the slope can tell us the rate at which Carlos's score increases or decreases for every additional minute of play. So, OPTION 1: The rate at which the score increases per minute of play is the correct answer.
