Answer 1

I can’t see the graph you’re referring to. Could you either upload the graph image or tell me the y-values (amounts) of Samantha’s and Frank’s accounts at 10 months (or two points on each line so I can find the value at 10 months)?

How to decide once you have the graph:
- Read the y-value (amount in dollars) for each person at x = 10 months.
- If Samantha’s amount − Frank’s amount = +5, answer A.
- If Samantha’s amount − Frank’s amount = −5, answer B.
- If both amounts are $30, answer C.
- If the graph doesn’t show values clearly or the lines don’t extend to 10 months, answer D.

Send the image or the coordinates and I’ll pick the correct choice.
