Question

Use the image and table to answer the question.

An illustration shows a graph labeled Reading Rate. The horizontal axis is labeled hours and ranges from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis is labeled pages and ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. An upward slanting line segment connects points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 30 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 50 right parenthesis.

Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.

Answer 1

Student 2 reads faster by 5 pages per hour.

Student 1: slope = (10 pages)/(1 hour) = 10 pages/hour.
Student 2: from table slope = (45−30)/(3−2) = 15 pages/hour.
Difference = 15 − 10 = 5 pages/hour.
