SLOPE Suppose you are given the following data on wage rates and number of hours worked:
a. Construct and label a set of axes and plot these six points. Label each point a , b , c , and so on. Which variable do you think should be measured on the vertical axis, and which variable should be measured on the horizontal axis?
b. Connect the points. Describe the resulting curve. Does it make sense to you?
c. Compute the slope of the curve between points a and b. Between points b and c. Between points c and d. Between points d and e. Between points e and f. What happens to the slope as you move from point a to point f ?
