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.

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 2 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 5 pages per hour.
To determine which student reads faster and by how much, we need to compare the reading rates of both students.
According to the graph, Student 1's reading rate is displayed by the line segment connecting the points (0, 0) to (5, 50). This means that for every hour, Student 1 reads 10 pages.
In the table, for Student 2, it is given that in 2 hours, they read 30 pages, and in 3 hours, they read 45 pages. This means that for every hour, Student 2 reads (45 - 30) = 15 pages.
Comparing the reading rates, we can conclude that Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Student 2 reads faster than Student 1 by 15 pages per hour.
