An illustration shows two graphs depicting points per game for players A and B. The first graph shows points per game for player A. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 5 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 85 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 80 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points. The second graph shows points per game for player B. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points.

is this correct
Apologies for the incorrect response. Based on the information given, Player A averaged more points per game than Player B. The graph for Player A shows points of 0, 40, and 80, which indicates an average of 40 points per game. On the other hand, the graph for Player B shows points of 0, 45, and 75, indicating an average of 40 points per game for Player B. Both players have the same average points per game.
To determine which player averaged more points per game, we need to compare the average points on the graphs for Player A and Player B. Looking at the graphs, we can see that the point values on the vertical axis represent the points per game for each player.
For Player A:
- The graph shows three data points plotted at (0,0), (2,40), and (4,80).
- The line connecting these points indicates that the points per game increased steadily.
- The maximum point value on the graph is 80.
For Player B:
- The graph shows three data points plotted at (0,0), (3,45), and (5,75).
- The line connecting these points also indicates an increase in points per game, but at a slower rate.
- The maximum point value on the graph is 75.
Comparing the maximum point values on the graphs, we can conclude that Player A averaged more points per game than Player B. Therefore, the correct response is:
- Player A averaged more points than Player B. Player A averaged 80 points per game.
