Answer 1

Nathan is walking faster than Matt.

Explanation:

The graph shows that for every hour, Matt walks 3 miles, since it goes to the right 1 and up 3 over and over again. This means Matt's speed is 3 miles per hour.

4 miles per hour is greater than 3 miles per hour, so Nathan is walking at a faster speed.
