Answer 2

The given function is

`y=5.5x`

This is a linear function, where
`y` represents the total numbers of calories and
`x` represents the number of strawberries she was eating.

According to the given function, each strawberry has 5.5 calories.

It's important to notice that the graph of this function is a straight line which passes through the origin of the coordinate system, because it doesn't have a constant term.

The image attached shows the graph of the given function.

Therefore, the right graph is the one that intersects the origin of the coordinate system.
