a.
Answer to Problem 33E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Player | Minutes played | Points scored |
1 | 39 | 29 |
2 | 32 | 15 |
Calculation:
The ordered pair of form (minutes played, points scored) by each player is
b.
To find: slope of the line containing both points.
b.
Answer to Problem 33E
2
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Player | Minutes played | Points scored |
1 | 39 | 29 |
2 | 32 | 15 |
Ordered pairs:
Calculation:
Put the point of coordinates in the slope formula and evaluate the value of slope as shown below.
Thus, the slope of the line containing both points is 2.
c.
To find: the meaning of slope of the line.
c.
Answer to Problem 33E
It represents the time difference for playing vs. the difference in points scored by each player.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Player | Minutes played | Points scored |
1 | 39 | 29 |
2 | 32 | 15 |
Ordered pairs:
Calculation:
The difference in time played vs. the difference in points scored by each player is represented by the slope. The average rate of points per minute is half a point per minute.
