Comparing Graphs and Equations Representing Proportional Relationships

This lesson focuses on comparing proportional relationships through graphs and equations to determine rates of change. Jayden's speed is analyzed using the equation y = 17x, showing a constant speed of 17 mph. Charlie's speed is determined from a graph, showing a constant speed of 15 mph. The lesson concludes that Jayden travels faster than Charlie by 2 mph. Students learn to compare graphs and equations to identify greater rates of change.

Compare the speeds of Jayden and Charlie. Who is faster and by how much?
