The graph shows the constant rate at which Suzanna rides her bike. If she rides a total of a half an hour at the same speed, how many miles would she have ridden?

[asy] import graph; /* this is a label */ Label f;  f.p=fontsize(0); xaxis(-0.9,20,Ticks(f, 5.0, 5.0));  yaxis(-0.9,20, Ticks(f, 22.0,5.0)); // real f(real x)  {  return x; }  draw(graph(f,-1,22),black+linewidth(1)); label("1", (-1,5), black);  label("2", (-1, 10), black); label("3", (-1, 15), black); label("4", (-1, 20), black); dot((5,5), black+linewidth(5)); dot((10,10), black+linewidth(5)); dot((15, 15), black+linewidth(5)); dot((20,20), black+linewidth(5)); label("MINUTES", (11,-5), S); label(rotate(90)*"MILES", (-5,11), W);[/asy]

$\textbf{(A)}5\qquad\textbf{(B)}5.5\qquad\textbf{(C)}6\qquad\textbf{(D)}6.5\qquad\textbf{(E)}7$
