The given equation is
[tex]y=0.79x+1544[/tex]
The slope is the relation between the number of points scored and the minutes played. In this case, it means, on average, they scored 0.79 points per minute.
If a player has played 1,000 minutes, so the scored points would be
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=0.79(1,000)+1,544 \\ y=790+1,544 \\ y=2,334 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, that player would score 2,334 points in total.
