Default Bar Chart

how do I show an "Average" line (moving R to L) on a Bar Chart?
I have figured otu how to do a moving average, but that's not what I need.
I just want a line going accross the page, from left to right, showing an
average of all the bars (in this case 75%).

=AVERAGE($b$1:$b$5) and plot both
