If Jenny's car uses less gas per mile driven than Sandra's truck, how does the graph representing the rate of change of Sandra's truck compare to the graph representing the rate of change of Jenny's car?

What graph?
If you compare two graphs, which we don't see, you will need to describe or define the axes of the graphs.
Does the x-axis represent the amount of gas consumed in gallons, and the y-axis represent the distance travelled?
If that is the case, the rate of change represents the consumption of miles per gallon, which means that Jenny's car has a greater slope (rate of change) than Sandra's.
