Brief Explanations

In a distance - time graph, the slope represents speed. The steeper the line, the greater the speed. Since the line for plane A is steeper than that for plane B, plane A has a greater speed. The graph does not provide information about altitude or time of flight start.

Answer:

Plane A is flying faster than plane B.
