Freddie ran for 5 days in a row. The line plot shows how much of a mile he ran each day. How far did he run total? Be sure to reduce your fraction.

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75

the anwser is x< -17/2

the answer would be 9 because if it is perpendicular to the green line. the red lines slope is the opposite or reciprocal of the slope of the green line.
