7. Graphs vary. The x-axis should be the year and range from
1993 to 2005. The y-axis should be attendance (in millions) and
range from 0 to around 2000. All data points should be plotted.

8. Movie attendance in 2005 is about 1,700 million (1.7 billion)

9. Graphs vary. The x-axis should be altitude and range from 0 to

60,000 (ft.). The y-axis should be Barometric pressure (in. merc.)
and range from about -10 to 30. All data points should be plotted.

10. Sample answer: y = −1000 x + 30
The barometric pressure at 60,000ft would be somewhere
between -30 and -6.

11. No, our barometric pressure at 60,000 feet was negative,

which isn’t possible. The points don’t appear to follow a line.
