Just to remove ambiguities, the bar over the expression means it's repeating itself to infinity.

notice, the idea being, you multiply it by 10 at some power, so that you move the "recurring decimal" to the other side of the point, and then split it with a digit and "x".
now, you can plug that in your calculator, to check what you get.
For this, you have to plot the points on the graph. where it says right hand height, you go down to that number on the x axis (horizontal) and then up to the correct number for right foot length (vertical)
