This is a horizontal line at y = -3. If you want to find it mathematically, you could find the slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and you would get 0 over 5, so you know the slope is zero. Pick either point and substitute the numbers into point-slope formula. I went with (3, -3) and got (y - -3) = 0(x-3). The right side is just 0, and if you subtract three from both sides to isolate y, you get the equation y = -3.
The answer is 11 feet 6 inches
You could use many methods to find the answer to this problem, but I am going to use the most efficient one I know.
18f+15(4f)=156
F is for fins. We should now solve the equation.
18f+60f=156
78f=156
156÷78=2
So fins cost 2 dollars. Now, we know snorkels cost four times the amount of fins. Four times 2 is eight. So the snorkels cost $8 to rent. Let's check our math.
15(8) + 18(2)
120+36=156
So it cost $8 to rent a snorkel.
