The equation y = 43x represents the number of miles alicia drives over time, where y is the number of miles and x is time in hours. the table (shown in picture) shows the number of miles trish drives over time.

how many miles does each woman travel per hour? who drives at a slower rate?

Given:
Alicia: y = 43x

Trish:
Time        Miles driven         Unit Rate (miles driven ÷ time)
1.5                 69                      46 mi/hr
3.5                161                     46 mi/hr
6                   276                     46 mi/hr
7.5                345                     46 mi/hr

Alicia drives 43 miles per hour while Trish drives 46 miles per hour.

Alicia drives at a slower rate.
