Answer:

45 mph

Explanation:

Choose any 2 pairs of points and find the slope to find the rate in mph:

Use (2, 90) and (6, 270)

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope = rate = (270 - 90) / (6 - 2) = 180 / 4 = 45 mph

Answer: 45 miles per hour

Explanation:

90 miles/ 2 hours = 45 miles per hour

135 miles/ 3 hours = 45 miles per hour

225 miles/ 5 miles = 45 miles per hour

270 miles/ 6 hours = 45 miles per hour
