Consider a graph where the horizontal axis represents the cumulative percentage of a population, ordered from lowest to highest wealth, and the vertical axis represents the cumulative percentage of total wealth they own. In a society where the bottom 90% of the population owns 0% of the wealth, the resulting curve would be a straight diagonal line from the bottom-left corner (0,0) to the top-right corner (100,100).

In a community of 200 households, 160 households own no assets, while the remaining 40 households each own an equal share of the community's total assets. If a graph is created with the cumulative percentage of households (ordered from fewest to most assets) on the horizontal axis and the cumulative percentage of assets owned on the vertical axis, which statement best describes the shape of the resulting curve?
