O The set must have a constant additive rate of change.
The set must have a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The values in the set must be positive.
O The values in the set must be increasing.

The set must have a constant additive rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

-8

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
