To determine which statements are true based on the graph you mentioned, I'd need more details about the graph, such as the slopes, starting points (y-intercepts), and the general trend for each worker represented in the graph (entry-level worker, lawyer, plumber, Bill Gates). However, I can guide you on how to evaluate the statements based on common graph characteristics.
-
The entry-level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.
- Compare the slopes of the lines: if they are parallel, this statement is true.
-
The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry-level worker.
- Check the slope of the plumber's earnings line against the entry-level worker's line; if the plumber's line rises more steeply, this statement is true.
-
The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.
- Look at the starting points (y-intercepts) for both the plumber and the lawyer, then compare the slopes; if the plumber starts higher but the lawyer's slope is steeper, this statement is true.
-
Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry-level worker.
- Check the y-intercept (the value at 0 hours) for both lines; if they are equal, this statement is true.
-
The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.
- This can be checked similarly by comparing starting points (y-intercepts) for both the lawyer and the plumber; if the lawyer's starting point is higher, this statement is true.
Evaluate each statement based on the visual clues from the graph. If you have specific numbers or positions, I can help analyze further.
