Problem
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]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/e/6/8e6a016e771b1190c29cf5d287fb3a89514557bc.png)
