Answer:
A. Simon's unit rate is 2 more miles per hour than Eric's unit rate
Explanation:
We are concerned with the number of miles each runs in 1 hour.
For Eric, that means x=1 in his equation, so his mileage is ...
y = 6×1 = 6 . . . . miles
__
For Simon, it means we want to find time = 1 hour on the horizontal axis at the bottom of the graph. Then we want to see where the graphed line crosses that vertical line. The point of crossing has horizontal line that goes over to 8 on the vertical distance axis. That is, Simon runs 8 miles in 1 hour.
__
Eric's unit rate (miles in 1 hour) is 6 miles per hour.
Simon's unit rate (miles in 1 hour) is 8 miles per hour.
Simon's unit rate is 2 more miles per hour than Eric's unit rate.
