Using linear equations, the number of minutes that both would read for them to read equal number of pages is: 30 minutes.

<h3>What is the Equation of a Linear Graph?</h3>

Equation of a linear graph is given as, y = mx + b, where m and b are the slope and y-intercept of the graph respectively.

Equation for Emily's graph:

Slope (m) = rise/run = 1/3

y-intercept (b) = 2

Substitute m = 1/3 and b = 2 into y = mx + b

y = 1/3x + 2

Equation for Serena's graph:

Slope (m) = rise/run = 2/5

y-intercept (b) = 0

Substitute m = 2/5 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

y = 2/5x + 0

y = 2/5x

To find how many minutes for both of them to read the same number of pages, make both equations equal to each other.

2/5x = 1/3x + 2

2/5x - 1/3x = 2

1/15x = 2

Multiply both sides by 15

x = (2)(15)

x = 30

The answer is 30 minutes for both to read the same number of pages.
