Well, here's what we know from the problem:
~ 9 students
~ 45 people in all the households for the entire 9 students (average or "mean" of 5 per household tells us this)
~ Largest household = 10 people
You just need to make a graph with each student on the bottom axis (Student A, Student B, ..., Student I), and let your y-axis be the number of people per household.
Put your dot at y=10 above Student A.
Now you have 35 remaining people for the 8 remaining students.
Your homework said you can distribute these any way you want ("make a line plot showing a data set that fits this description"), so just assign any number of people per household to the remaining students just as long as the total adds to 35.
Get it? Hope that helps!
