The first and fourth statements are true.
The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber.
The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry level worker.
According to the graph, the following statements are true:
- The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked.
- The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry level worker.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the given graph and compare the different variables for each profession.
1. The lawyer has a greater initial amount of earnings than the plumber: To determine this, we need to compare the y-intercepts or starting points of the two lines on the graph. If the lawyer's line is higher than the plumber's line at the starting point, then the statement is true.
2. Bill Gates has the same y-intercept as the entry-level worker: To determine this, we need to compare the y-intercept of Bill Gates' line with the y-intercept of the entry-level worker's line on the graph. If they have the same starting point, then the statement is true.
3. The entry-level worker has the same slope as the lawyer: To determine this, we need to compare the slopes of the two lines on the graph. If the lines have the same steepness or inclination, then the statement is true.
4. The plumber has a steeper rate of change than the entry-level worker: To determine this, we need to compare the slopes of the two lines on the graph. If the slope of the plumber's line is greater (steeper) than the slope of the entry-level worker's line, then the statement is true.
5. The plumber initially earns more money than the lawyer, but the lawyer earns more as more hours are worked: This statement combines information about both the initial earnings and the rate of change. To determine if this statement is true, we need to compare the starting points (y-intercepts) of the two lines and also analyze how their slopes change over time.
By carefully observing the graph and comparing the relevant variables, you should be able to determine which statements are true.
