Answer:

The table displays a higher rate because the slope in the table is bigger than the slope in the graph.

What does a graph's slope mean?

The graph's slope serves as a gauge for a line's steepness. It is the ratio of any two places on the line's vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run). Slope is defined mathematically as: Slope (m) = (change in y)/(change in x).

The slope from the table is:

y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = 42 - 30/7 - 5

= 6

The slope from the graph is:

8 - 0/1.5 - 0

m = 5.33
