Question

carlos plays an arcade game. the scatter plot shows his score and the number of minutes he plays.a good line of fit is drawn through the points (6, 50) and (12, 80).$m = 5$what does the slope tell you?for every additional minute carlos plays, hisscore ? by about ? points.

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret slope meaning

The slope $m=5$ is positive, so as $x$ (time) increases, $y$ (score) increases.

Step2: Define slope's real-world value

Slope = $\frac{\text{Change in Score}}{\text{Change in Time}} = 5$, so each extra minute adds 5 points.

Answer:

For every additional minute Carlos plays, his score increases by about 5 points.
