It seems like you're trying to analyze a specific graph, but I can't see the graph you're referring to. If you can describe the graph, its axes, and any relevant data points or trends, I would be happy to help you determine which statements might be true based on that information. Please provide more details!

To determine which statements might be true based on your description of the graph involving workers' earnings (entry-level worker, lawyer, plumber) and potential y-intercepts, I'll summarize the statements and provide analysis criteria for each one.

  1. The entry level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.

    • Analysis: If the graph shows that the earnings of the entry-level worker and lawyer increase at the same rate as hours worked increase, this statement could be true.

  2. The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.

    • Analysis: If the graph shows that the plumber starts at a higher point (y-intercept) than the lawyer but the slope (rate of increase) of the lawyer is steeper after certain hours, this statement could be true.

  3. The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry level worker.

    • Analysis: If the slope of the plumber's earnings growth is greater than that of the entry-level worker's, then this statement could be true.

  4. Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry level worker.

    • Analysis: If there is a line for Bill Gates that starts at the same amount of earnings (y-value) as the entry-level worker at 0 hours, then this statement could be true.

  5. The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.

    • Analysis: If at 0 hours the y-value for the lawyer is higher than that of the plumber, then this statement could be true.

To assess whether these statements are true, you would need to look at the slopes (rates of change) and y-intercepts (initial earnings) of the lines representing each worker on the graph.

If you provide more specific information about the lines and their properties from the graph, I can give you a more definitive answer!

which ones are true

To determine which statements are true, I would need to have access to the actual graph you are referring to. However, I can guide you on how to evaluate each statement based on typical graph characteristics associated with earnings vs. hours worked. Here’s how you might evaluate each statement:

  1. The entry-level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.

    • True or False? Check if the lines for the entry-level worker and the lawyer have the same steepness. If the lines rise at the same rate, this statement is true.

  2. The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.

    • True or False? Look at the starting point (y-intercept) of both lines. If the plumber's line starts higher but the lawyer's line becomes higher at greater hours (indicating a steeper slope), then this statement is true.

  3. The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry-level worker.

    • True or False? Compare the slopes of the plumber and the entry-level worker. If the plumber’s line is steeper (rises more sharply) than the entry-level worker's line, then this statement is true.

  4. Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry-level worker.

    • True or False? Check where Bill Gates' line starts on the y-axis. If both lines start at the same point (same initial earnings), this statement is true.

  5. The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.

    • True or False? Similar to the previous points, check the starting points on the y-axis. If the lawyer's line starts higher than the plumber's, then this statement is true.

Conclusion:

If you evaluate the graph based on these criteria, you will be able to confirm which statements are true. If you share specific observations from the graph regarding slopes and y-intercepts, I can help you analyze them further!
