Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jen and Ariel are reading a 400 page novel for their literature class.

Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages thereafter.

Hence if y represents no of pages and x no of days read, we have equation as

$y=50x+100, x=0,1,2,3,4,5,6$

Ariel’s progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function $y=40x+80$, where is y is the total number of pages read after x days

REading rate per day = slope = coefficient of x

Hence we have rate is 50 for Jen and 40 for Ariel.

i.e. Jen reads 10 pages more daily than Ariel.
