Answer:

The line graph compares the income of four coffee shops in New York over the period of
the previous year. All figures are shown in US dollars.

It can be seen from the chart that the overall trend was upward, as the incomes for three
of the four cafes increased during the period. In particular, there were dramatic rises for
the ‘Wi-Fi Cafe’ (moving it 3rd to 1st place) and ‘Cafe Cool’, while ‘Internet Express’
demonstrated comparatively steady growth. In contrast, the income for ‘The Tea Room’
plummeted, going from the highest to the lowest income during the year.

The Tea Room began the period with the highest income figure of $160,000 USD in
January. It experienced a clear steady decline despite some fluctuations, reaching
$140,000 in October before dropping sharply to finish the period with the lowest figure
of $50,000 in December. In contrast, the Wi-Fi Cafe started in 3nd place with sales of only
$50,000, but rose steadily hitting $100,000 in July. Its income then dipped during August
and September before figures soared, finishing up in December with the highest income
overall of $190,000.

Moving on to Internet Express, there was a steady fall in the cafe’s income in the first
four months of the year, starting in January with $95,000 and flattening out at around
$80,000. It then saw a recovery from August, to end the period at $135,000. Similarly,
the Cafe Cool fluctuated between $20,000 and $40,000 in the first six months before
increasing more steadily to $60,000 in November, after which it witnessed a sudden
upturn to finish at $120,000 dollars in December.
