The third option is the best fit for the application of a linear model.
In the first option, there is likely to be a correlation but it cannot be a linear one as goals are missed even from inside the keeper's box.
In the second option, it is safe to assume that each person will at least 2 other so this will follow an exponential model.
In the third option, the stopping distance is given by the equation of motion: s = ut + 1/2 x at² And this shows that the distance varies linearly with speed.
This refers to the "denominator" of a fraction. By definition, the denominator tells you how many you need to have of an equal part in order to create a whole. The numerator tells you how much of those equal parts you have.
