Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
A car company wants to reduce the use of gas-fueled cars by introducing and promoting the use of electric cars. The graphs below show the number of gas-fueled cars sold, y, for the first eight months since the introduction of electric cars. Both graphs show the same information.

Answer 1

Answer:

Graph A

Appears to decrease more

Answer 2

Answer:

Graph A.

Appears to decrease more.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we see this question mathematically we find that graph A is showing a better slope than graph B.

More slope means larger y- intercept, which shows more decrease in sales of gas fueled cars.

This decrease in fact is an illusion, while data-wise decrease of the gas fueled cars in both the graphs are same.

Therefore graph A will be the preferred graph for presentation which appears to decrease more.
