Willow is rereading her favorite book. She starts the day on page 15. Looking at the clock, she realizes that she can read 2 pages every minute.

A coordinate plane shows the x-axis, labeled as Number of Minutes, ranging from negative 2 to 30 in increments of 2, and the y-axis, labeled as Page Number, ranging from negative 5 to 100 in increments of 5. A ray extends from a plotted point. The coordinates of the plotted closed circle are left parenthesis 0 comma 15 right parenthesis. An upward slanting arrow extends from the plotted point and passes through left parenthesis 30 comma 75 right parenthesis.

To determine which graph represents Willow's reading progress, let's analyze the information provided:

Starting Point: Willow starts on page 15.
Reading Rate: She reads 2 pages every minute.

Using this information, we can calculate her page number after a certain number of minutes:

At 0 minutes, she will be on page 15.
After 1 minute: 15 + 2 = 17 (page 17)
After 2 minutes: 15 + 4 = 19 (page 19)
After 3 minutes: 15 + 6 = 21 (page 21)

This demonstrates that Willow's page number increases linearly over time. The equation for her progression can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Page Number} = 15 + 2 \times \text{Minutes} \]

Based on the equation:

At 0 minutes (x = 0), y = 15.
At 30 minutes (x = 30), y = \(15 + 2 \times 30 = 15 + 60 = 75\).

Thus, the point (0, 15) should be where the line starts, and it should extend through points such as (30, 75).

Now, checking the descriptions of the graphs provided:

The first graph describes a plot starting at (0, 15) and extending to (30, 75), which perfectly represents Willow's reading progress.

Therefore, the first graph is the correct response.
