Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows Quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Games and ranges from 0 to 7 in 1 unit increments. The y-axis is labeled points and ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The graph is titled Points per Game. A line connects four points plotted on the graph. The coordinates of the plotted points are left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 90 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 150 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 210 right parenthesis.
The average basketball points per game for Player 1 are displayed in the graph. Player 2’s average points per game are represented by the equation y=35x . Which player had the highest average points per game? Enter 1 for Player 1. Enter 2 for Player 2.
(1 point)
Player
had the highest average points per game.
To determine which player had the highest average points per game, we need to compare the values of the equations for Player 1 and Player 2.
For Player 1, the points per game are plotted on the graph as follows:
(0, 0)
(3, 90)
(5, 150)
(7, 210)
For Player 2, the equation for average points per game is y = 35x.
Let's compare the values of these equations for x = 0, 3, 5, and 7:
For Player 1:
At x = 0, y = 0
At x = 3, y = 90
At x = 5, y = 150
At x = 7, y = 210
For Player 2:
At x = 0, y = 35(0) = 0
At x = 3, y = 35(3) = 105
At x = 5, y = 35(5) = 175
At x = 7, y = 35(7) = 245
Comparing the values, we can see that Player 2 has the highest average points per game. Therefore, the answer is:
Player 2 had the highest average points per game.
