Answer: 2 more calories skiing

Explanation:

First find the slope of each line.

Slope of Skiing:

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (400 - 240) / (50 - 30)

= 8

= 8 calories per minute

Slope of Hiking

= (360 - 120) / (60 - 20)

= 6

= 6 calories per minute

Difference:

= 8 - 6

= 2 more calories skiing
