The provided equation is not an identity
Y2-y1
--------
x2-x1
-8-6
---------
5-9
-14
-----
-4
= 14/4
= 7/2
Y = 2.36x....where y is the distance traveled and x is the number of minutes
how far will the snail travel in 6 minutes...so sub in 6 for x
y = 2.36(6)
y = 14.16 ft <==
The unit price would be $8.
48/6 = 8
