Keith is the leading goal scorer for a team in an ice hockey league. Last season, he scored 42 goals in 82 games. Assuming he scores goals at a constant rate, what is the slope of the line that represents this relationship if the number of games is along the x-axis and the number of goals is along the y-axis? A.

B.

C.

D.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

the answer on ed. is:

c. "the graph of f(x) has exactly two x-intercepts."

hope i could someone! : )
