Shiloh Escobar · Answer 1

Jesse - 150 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the graph, it shows that the rise is 140 and the run is 1. 140/1 is 140, making the slope for Khalid is 140. The equation (y = 150x) shows that the slope is 150 (y = mx). Since 150 is greater than (>) 140, Jesse's train is more faster than Khalid since she is moving at 150mph rather than 140mph.

Also, is this for Pearson Realize?
