Slope Stories

Which story matches the graph?

• The population starts at 0 and grows at a constant rate.

• The population size declines to zero.

• The population size grows at a constant linear rate for some time, then decreases at a constant linear rate for a while, and then increases at a constant linear rate.

• The population size grows at a constant rate for some time, then doesn’t change for a while, and then grows at a constant rate once again.

• The population size grows somewhat fast at first, and then the rate of growth slows.

Which story matches the graph?

• The population size grows somewhat fast at first, and then the rate of growth slows.

• The population size grows at a constant linear rate for some time, then decreases at a constant linear rate for a while, and then increases at a constant linear rate slower than the original rate of increase.

• The population starts out at 0 and grows at a constant rate.

• The population size grows at a constant rate for some time, then doesn’t change for a while, and then grows at a constant rate once again.
