Here are your measures of variability. The range is found by subtracting the highest and the lowest (29-5=24). To find the interquartile range, you will find the median of the lower half of the data and the median of the higher half of sta and subtract these 2 numbers. Here is your list. I have PUT PARENTHESES around the upper and lower quartiles: 5, 17, (18), 20, 20, 21, 23, (26), 28, 29. It is like finding the middle of the entire set of data and then finding the middle of each half. Subtract 26 and 18 to find the interquartile range of 8 touchdowns.
You are given two points on a line, and told that the function is "direct variation." You can save a lot of time by recognizing that the y-intercept here is zero (0). Thus, the line passes through the origin.
A line through (2,14) and (4,38) is NOT direct variation, because the line connecting those two points does NOT pass through the origin, and thus has a vertical intercept.
