Analyzing Historical Economic Data
An economic historian is analyzing the output of a country over a 75-year period and has collected the data shown below. If the historian plots this data on a graph where the vertical axis uses a ratio scale (where equal vertical distances represent equal percentage changes), what will be the shape of the resulting line? Explain what this shape signifies about the country's growth during this period.

An economist plots a country's economic output from 1920 to 2020 on a graph. The vertical axis uses a ratio scale (where equal vertical distances represent equal percentage changes), and the horizontal axis represents time. The resulting line on the graph is an upward-sloping curve that becomes progressively steeper over the period. What is the most accurate conclusion about the country's economic growth rate?
Analyzing Historical Economic Data
A country's economic output is observed to grow by exactly 3% every year for three consecutive decades. If this data were plotted on a graph with a ratio scale on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, the resulting line would be a curve that becomes progressively steeper.
