Answer 1

Based on the description of the graph, the following statements can be identified as correct:

1. Jane earns $8 for every hour she babysits. - This statement is true because the graph shows a consistent increase of $8 for each hour worked.

2. The total money earned for babysitting 5 hours is $40. - This statement is also true, as the graph indicates that after 5 hours, Jane has earned $40 (5 hours × $8/hour).

3. Point A represents the money earned for babysitting 2 hours. - This statement would be true if Point A is indicated on the graph at (2, 16), meaning Jane has earned $16 for 2 hours of babysitting.

The other statements:

• Jane earns $1 for every 8 hours she babysits. - This statement is false based on the graph provided.
• Point A represents the money earned for each hour of babysitting. - This statement is misleading unless it refers to a specific point on the graph (like (1, 8)), and without the visual to confirm Point A, we cannot ascertain if this is true.

Thus, the correct responses are:

• Jane earns $8 for every hour she babysits.
• The total money earned for babysitting 5 hours is $40.
• Point A represents the money earned for babysitting 2 hours (assuming that's what Point A is).
