because Lori starts with five fish.
The graph will begin with the point left parenthesis 1 comma 5 right parenthesis because Lori starts with five fish.

The graph will have a constant rate of change.
The graph will have a constant rate of change.

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 1.32.
The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 1.32.

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 32.

Answer 1

The correct statement that discusses a key feature of the graph for Lori's situation is:

The points on the graph will have a common ratio of 1.32.

This is because the goldfish reproduce at a rate of 32% each month, meaning that each month, the population will be multiplied by 1.32 (the original population plus 32% of it). The graph will exhibit exponential growth, which is characterized by a common ratio greater than 1.
