Please help! This is due in a few minutes! Reese and Kevin have been working together to try and lose weight. Reese's weight loss can be modeled by the equation y = -4x + 203 where y is his total with weight and x is the number of weeks he has been working out. Kevin's weight loss progress is shown on the graph below. Who is losing weight at a faster rate? Explain your reasoning.

The equation for the graph would be y = -1/4x + 200. So Reese is loosing weight at a faster rate than Kevin. (I’m not sure tho so someone check this)
