You can use logic to say right off the bat that you have 2 one dollar bills if you said you had 7 instead there would be not enough bills to add up to 82
The only logical answer is, 2 because the unit rate is value of y when x=1.
y=(1)2 y=2.
As I stated in the same question, the "Unit Rate" is not hard, it's just slope. They are trying to trick you by saying "unit rate". Your unit rate is x2.
