Interpreting Graphs and Intercepts
Introduction:
Graphs are created so that we can quickly derive meaningful information from them. They provide a visual representation of the data and, therefore, an understanding of the scenario. Interpreting graphs, therefore, is an important skill that you should acquire.

You can't post graphs in this forum. You could type the questions, though.

Interpreting Graphs and Intercepts
Introduction:
Graphs are created so that we can quickly derive meaningful information from them. They provide a visual representation of the data and, therefore, an understanding of the scenario. Interpreting graphs, therefore, is an important skill that you should acquire.
Tasks:
Study the line graph provided below. This graph shows the average hourly earnings in dollars in the United States from January 1996 through January 2006.
Now, answer the following questions:
1. According to this graph, what are the estimated lowest average earnings? In which year were they the lowest?
To determine the estimated lowest average earnings, we need to examine the lowest point on the graph, which is where the line reaches its minimum value. By looking at the graph, we can see that the lowest estimated average earnings are around $12. This occurred in January 1996.
2. Does this graph have an x-intercept or a y-intercept? If yes, what does it represent?
An x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and a y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. In the given graph, the line does not intersect either the x-axis or the y-axis. Therefore, there is no x-intercept or y-intercept.
3. In which year did the average earnings reach $16 per hour?
To determine the year when the average earnings reached $16 per hour, we need to find the corresponding point on the graph where the line intersects the $16 mark. By examining the graph, we can see that the average earnings reached $16 per hour in January 2006.
