To accurately determine which statements are true, I would need to visualize the graph you are referring to. However, since I cannot see the graph, I can offer some guidance on how to evaluate the statements based on general principles of graphs related to earnings.
-
The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.
- Check the starting point (y-intercept) for both professions and the slopes. If the plumber starts higher but the lawyer's slope is steeper, this statement could be true.
-
The entry level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.
- This statement is true if the lines for the entry-level worker and the lawyer have the same angle of inclination, indicating that they earn at the same rate per hour.
-
The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.
- Check the y-intercepts for both lines (where they start). If the lawyer's line starts higher than the plumber's line, this statement is true.
-
The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry level worker.
- If the line representing the plumber has a steeper slope than the line for the entry level worker, this statement is true.
-
Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry level worker.
- Check if the line for Bill Gates starts at the same point on the y-axis as the entry level worker. If yes, this statement is true.
To conclude, please use the above guidelines to evaluate each statement against the information presented in your graph. If you can provide more specifics or describe the graph, I would be happy to give a more precise interpretation.
