Raquel takes her pulse in order to determine her resting heart rate, measured in beats per minute $(\text{bpm})$. She takes it for three minutes, and makes the following table of the results. We'll assume that Raquel's heart rate is constant over the three-minute period.
The graph below shows an ideal resting heart rate for someone Raquel's height, weight, age, and general level of fitness. The $x$-coordinate represents minutes, and the $y$-coordinate represents beats.
** Is Raquel's heart rate faster or slower than the ideal heart rate shown on the graph?**
