Question

A graph titled Passing Statistics has pass attempts on the x-axis, and yards on the y-axis. A line goes through points (24, 127) and (36, 163).
The scatterplot shows how many pass attempts and yards a quarterback has in different football games. Notice that the line passes through the second point from the left, (24, 127) and the farthest point on the right (36, 163).

What is the slope of the trend line?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x by x and y by y to find the distance/difference

36            163

24,          127

= 12/36 = rise/run

Now reduce to find the slope, reduce until you can't anymore.

12/36

6/18

3/9

1/3 (that's your slope)
