In a certain year the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average household is given by A= 5.5t. Graph the equation t0. How many days did it take for the average household to produce 200 pounds of garbage? Please help. So confused. (I got that it is 36.36 days) but I am lost as how to graph this, any help?

look at it like this$$y=mx+b$$|      |  |      |$$A=5.5t+0$$
given that you should be able to graph this :)

@teenandtoddlermom  does that help? :)

anonymous · Answer

i'm really new at this ..would it be 5.5, 0

anonymous · Answer

if you know how to graph you just plug in any value for t and then graph it :)

for example:
$$A=5.5(3)+0$$$$A=16.5$$so one of the points is $$(3,16.5)$$

and you graph that and more just like that and draw a line through it :)
