Answer:
Increased.
Step-by-step explanation:
In March 2007, the unemployment rate was 4.4 percent. In August 2008 was 6.1 percent. We need to remember that the unemployment rate equals the number of unemployed people divided by the people in the labor force.
Now, if we consider that the labor force remained constant during this period of time (according to the problem) then this would mean that the number of unemployed people actually increased during this period of 17 months.
You know they are parallel because the lines will never intersect or meet. (Two straight lines usually mean it is parallel)
