This figure is a line graph, with the title, "Wait Time Rising With Increased Contention for a Resource". This line graph of wait time over contention for a resource includes the Wait Time on the x-axis, and the Contention for Resources on the y-axis. The graph includes no units, but describes a trend. From left to right, as the contention for resources increases, the wait time increases. In an increasing slope, if the contention for a resource is significant, then the wait time grows significantly.
