Which graph represents viable values for y = 5.5x, where x is the number of cans of tomato paste and y is the total weight of the sealed cans in ounces?

A
On a coordinate plane, x-axis is numbered negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1, and the y-axis is numbered negative 27.5 to 27.5 in increments of 5.5. A straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0) and ends at point (5, 27.5)
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, x-axis is numbered negative 5 to positive 5 in increments of 1, and the y-axis is numbered negative 27.5 to 27.5 in increments of 5.5. Solid circles appear at points (0, 0), (1, 5.5), (2, 11), (3, 16.5), (4, 22), (5, 27.5)
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, x-axis is numbered negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1, and the y-axis is numbered negative 27.5 to 27.5 in increments of 5.5. A straight line with a positive slope begins at point (negative 5, negative 27.5) and ends at point (5, 27.5).
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, x-axis is numbered negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1, and the y-axis is numbered negative 27.5 to 27.5 in increments of 5.5. Solid circles appear at points (negative 5, negative 27.5), (negative 4, negative 22), negative 3, negative 16.5), (negative 2, negative 11), (negative 1, negative 5.5), (0, 0), (1, 5.5), (2, 11), (3, 16.5), (4, 22), (5, 27.5)
