To accurately determine which of the statements are true, I would need to see the graph you're referring to. However, I can provide guidance on how to evaluate each statement in relation to general trends in such graphs:
-
The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.
- Check the y-axis at the starting point (x=0 for initial earnings). Whoever is higher at that point is the one with greater initial earnings.
-
The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry-level worker.
- Steeper rate of change corresponds to a higher slope. Compare the slopes of the plumber and entry-level worker lines.
-
The entry level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.
- Check the slopes of both lines. If they are equal, this statement is true.
-
Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry level worker.
- Look for the y-intercept of Bill Gates' line and compare it to the entry-level worker’s.
-
The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.
- This would mean the plumber’s initial point on the graph is higher, but the lawyer's line (slope) rises faster than the plumber's. Compare initial earnings and slopes to verify.
Based on the graph, you can analyze the statements and select the ones that are true. If you provide more details about the graph or its key points, I can give more specific guidance.
