The graph represents the rate at which Marlo makes origami birds for a craft fair. The equation y = 2.5x represents the number of birds, y, Josh makes in x minutes. Who makes birds at a faster rate? Convince Me! If you were to graph the data for Josh and Marlo on the same coordinate plane, how would the two lines compare? A graph shows time in minutes on the x axis and number of birds on the y axis. the graph is titled Marlo's Rate. The line starts at (0,0) and goes through (40,8).
