A physics teacher conducted an experiment to analyze the effect of different weights on the time it takes for objects to fall. In the experiment, he measured the falling time (in seconds) of three different objects with weights as follows: Weight (in grams): 100, 200, 300 Falling Time (in seconds): Weight Time 100 2.5 200 3.2 300 3.8 The teacher graphed the results of the experiment and made the following statements: The average time it took for the objects to fall is proportional to their weight. The slope of the line graphed from the data represents the relationship between weight and falling time. Which of the following statements is true based on the data?

A physics teacher conducted an experiment to analyze the effect of different weights on the time it takes for objects to fall. In the experiment, he measured the falling time (in seconds) of three different objects with weights as follows:

Weight (in grams): 100, 200, 300

Falling Time (in seconds):

Weight	Time
100	2.5
200	3.2
300	3.8

The teacher graphed the results of the experiment and made the following statements:

The average time it took for the objects to fall is proportional to their weight.
The slope of the line graphed from the data represents the relationship between weight and falling time.

Which of the following statements is true based on the data?

Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.

Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.

Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true.

Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are false.
