Use the image and table to answer the question.
An illustration shows a graph labeled Reading Rate. The horizontal axis is labeled hours and ranges from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis is labeled pages and ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. An upward slanting line segment connects points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 30 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 50 right parenthesis.

Responses
Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 5 pages per hour.
Student 1 reads faster than Student 2 by 10 pages per hour.
To determine which student reads faster and by how much, we need to compare the reading rates of both students.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the reading rate for Student 1 is represented by the upward slanting line segment, which connects the points (0, 0), (1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30), (4, 40), and (5, 50).
From the table, we can see that the reading rate for Student 2 is 30 pages for 2 hours, 45 pages for 3 hours, and 60 pages for 4 hours.
Comparing these rates, we can see that Student 2 reads faster than Student 1.
For example, at 2 hours, Student 1 reads 20 pages while Student 2 reads 30 pages.
Therefore, Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 10 pages per hour.
So the correct answer is:
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 10 pages per hour.
