The equation y = 5.50x represents the cost y (in dollars) for x visits to the
science museum in a month. Graph the linear equation. What does the
graph tell you about your purchase plan with the science museum?

In Graph x-axis represents number of visits and y-axis represents cost.

As graph comes up to be a linear one, so we can clearly say that cost is increasing linearly in multiples of 5.5 with increase in number of visits.

Example :

If museum is visited once then cost (y) = 5.5 x 1 = 5.5

If museum is visited twice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 2 = 11

If museum is visited thrice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 3 = 16.5

... cost (y) goes on in creasing when number of visits (x) increase with multiples of 5.5

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14
