For this case we have the following equation:

y = 3t + 6

Where we have the following variables:

t: time in minutes

y: distance traveled

We have then that the slope of the line is equal to 3.

The slope of the line represents the speed in feet per minute of the ant.

The speed of the ant is 3 feet per minute.

Answer:

C. The ant is crawling at 3 feet per minute
