Question

camila’s quinceañera is coming soon! as the rsvps arrive, she tracks the number of people who have responded and whether or not they will be able to attend. in the beginning, the rsvps arrive at a slow but steady rate. then, she receives a lot of last - minute responses. which graph could show the number of rsvps camila receives leading up to her quinceañera? two graphs are shown with y - axis labeled number of rsvps received and x - axis labeled time (days). the first graph has a line that starts with a slow steady increase and then a steeper increase. the second graph has a line that decreases first and then increases steeply.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the left graph

The left graph has a line that starts at the origin (0,0) and first increases at a slow, steady rate (shallow slope) and then increases at a much faster rate (steeper slope) towards the end. This matches the description: slow but steady RSVPs at first, then a lot of last - minute (fast) responses.

Step2: Analyze the right graph

The right graph starts with a decrease, which doesn't make sense because the number of RSVPs received should not decrease over time (we are tracking the number of RSVPs received, so it should be non - decreasing as time passes and more people respond). So the right graph is incorrect.

Answer:

The graph on the Left
