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 at a constant rate , what is the slope of the line that represents this relashonships if the number of games is is along the x-axis and the number of goals is along the y-axis

Answer 1

it’s 21/41 or A (I got a 100% on the test)

Answer 2

Answer: The slope is 21/41.

Explanation:

IF the goals he scores is at a constant rate the we know if you would have to graph it, it will go through the origin.

To find the slope of a constant relationship,you will divide the y value by the x value.Now it indicates to us that x is the number of games while y is the number of goals.

so 42/82 which reduces to 21/41 has to be the slope .
