@kiwibyrd

OpenStudy (kiwibyrd):

we know that the slope of the graph has to be 1, because that's how age works

OpenStudy (kiwibyrd):

that rules out the last two

OpenStudy (mrhirohito):

Z.

OpenStudy (kiwibyrd):

no, it's not Y or Z, because their slopes are not 1.

OpenStudy (kiwibyrd):

The slope has to be 1 because both kids age at the same rate (1/1)

OpenStudy (mrhirohito):

W. ;-;

OpenStudy (kiwibyrd):

yes, because graph W starts with catherine's side already on 4 months
