Using the line of best fit, we can see that the line goes up, so the slope is positive. That means as the attempts increase, the points increase

Picking a point on the line that is easy to read, we can find the slope ( since it goes through 0,0) we can just use the point

I will use 8 attempts and 3 point

As the number of attempts increases by 8, the number of points increases by 3

A The number of points made increase by 3 points for every 8 attempts
