The weight of Brandi's luggage is represented by the equation y = 40x, where y represents the weight in lbs and x represents the number of bags. The weight of Javier's luggage is represented in the graph. Compare their rates.

• Brandi's luggage weighs more because it weighs 40 lbs per bag.

• Javier's luggage weighs more because it weighs 40lbs per bag.

• Brandi's luggage weighs more because it weighs 30 lbs per bag.

• Javier's luggage weighs more because it weighs 30 lbs per bag.
