Answer: Jasmine hikes at a rate 0.5 miles per hour faster than Deandre (the third option).

Step-by-step explanation: Deandre hikes at a rate of 2.5 miles per hour, since the slope in the equation is 2.5. For Jasmin, the slope on the graph is 3 (since it goes up 3, over 1), which means she hikes at a rate of 3 miles per hour. 3 is 0.5 greater than 2.5, so Jasmin hikes at a rate that is 0.5 miles per hour faster than Deandre.

**On the graph, the blue line is Jasmin and the red line is Deandre.
