Steve types at a rate of 45 words per minute. He writes an equation relating the number of words he can type, w, to the number of minutes he spends typing, m. w = 45m

Xena doesn’t know the number of words per minute that she can type. But she recorded the time it took her to type different numbers of words in this table.

Minutes Words
2 100
4 200
8 400
If we graphed both of these proportional relationships, the graph representing
typing would be steeper than the graph representing typing. So,
types more words per minute.
