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?

I understand how to work the problem but it's the graphing part

you have two points, the first where t = 0, and the second one you found where t = 36.36, if you graph these points and then draw a line through them(because this is a linear function), you will have graphed the function
