To determine which statements are true based on the graph you mentioned, I'd need to analyze the features of the lines representing the earnings of the plumber, Bill Gates, the lawyer, and the entry-level worker, including their slopes (rate of change) and y-intercepts (initial earnings). However, since I cannot see the graph, I can guide you on what to look for in order to evaluate each statement:
-
The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry-level worker.
Check the slopes of the lines. If the plumber's line is steeper than the entry-level worker's line, this statement is true. -
Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry-level worker.
Look at the y-values where each line intersects the y-axis (the initial earnings). If both lines start at the same point on the y-axis, this statement is true. -
The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.
Compare the y-intercepts of the lawyer's and the plumber's lines. If the lawyer's y-intercept is higher, this statement is true. -
The entry-level worker has the same slope as the lawyer.
Check the slopes of both lines. If they are the same (i.e., have the same steepness), this statement is true. -
The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.
This depends on both initial earnings (y-intercepts) and the slopes. If the plumber's line starts higher but the lawyer's line is steeper, this statement is true.
After you analyze the graph based on these criteria, you can check which statements apply accordingly. If you can provide information or values from the graph, I can help you determine the truth of each statement more precisely!
