ForLesson 6: The Slope of a Fitted Line

Student Task Statement

Here is a scatter plot that shows the number of assists and points for a group of hockey players. The model, represented by , is graphed with the scatter plot.

Scatter plot with line of best fit. Horizontal axis, assists, scale 0 to 60, by 15’s. Vertical axis, Points, scale 0 to 80, by 20’s.

What does the slope mean in this situation?
Based on the model, how many points will a player have if he has 30 assists?
