Answer: Second company (in the table), aka #1 toys, produces at a slower rate

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 123x is in the form y = mx+b with m = 123 as the slope. The slope is the rate of change telling us how many toys per minute are produced. In this case, 123 toys per minute is the rate for the first company.

----------

We'll need the slope of the other function. So we need to pick two rows from the table and use the slope formula. I'll pick the first two rows.

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

m = (1320-600)/(11-5)

m = 720/6

m = 120

The second company produces at a rate of 120 toys per minute. This is the smaller rate, so this company produces at a slower speed.
