To determine the balance in Tim's account after 5 months, we would typically analyze the graph you're referring to. However, since I can't see the graph, I can guide you through the process of calculating the balance based on information you would typically find in such a graph.

Normally, the x-axis of the graph would represent the months (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.), while the y-axis would represent the balance in Tim's account.

1. **Identify the Fixed Monthly Deposit:** Check the y-coordinate corresponding to various x-coordinates (months) on the graph. The y-coordinate indicates the balance after each month. The difference in balance between any two consecutive months will give you the amount deposited monthly.

2. **Look for the 5-Month Balance:** Specifically, find the value of the y-coordinate when x = 5 (after 5 months). This value will represent Tim's balance.

Without the graph, I can infer possibilities based on standard scenarios:

If the options of account balances are $50, $150, $650, and $250, the correct answer would likely be a function of the monthly deposit value multiplied by 5 (for the 5 months).

To conclude:
- If you can see that the balance reaches $50 after 1 month, $150 after 3 months, and so forth, you would follow the pattern to predict the total balance after 5 months.

Given the options, if Tim deposits a fixed amount, the possible balances after 5 months might be:
- A low deposit would lead to $50 or $150.
- A higher deposit could reach values like $250 or $650.

Based on the data discrepancies and typical deposit amounts, please refer to the graph and see at which of the provided values Tim's balance stands after month 5.

If you can provide more specific details from the graph, I would be happy to assist you further in determining the correct balance.
