Question

football passing statistics
the scatterplot and trend line show the number of pass
attempts and passing yards a football team had during
seven seasons.
because none of the data points lie on the trend line,
you must find two points on the line.
point 1 can be (245, 2860)
point 2 can be
x (252, 2870)
(248, 2865)
(256, 2872)
using those tw
of the line is

Explanation:

Step1: Find the slope formula

The slope formula is \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).

Step2: Substitute the values of the two points

Let \((x_1,y_1)=(245,2860)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(252,2870)\). Then \(m=\frac{2870 - 2860}{252 - 245}\).

Step3: Calculate the numerator and denominator

The numerator is \(2870 - 2860 = 10\), and the denominator is \(252 - 245=7\). So \(m = \frac{10}{7}\approx1.43\).

Answer:

\(\frac{10}{7}\)
