Rick's parents told him that for every 5 hours of reading he finishes, he can play 3 hours of video games. rob's parents told him that he can play 15 minutes for every 30 minutes of reading time he finishes. if both boys spend the same amount of time reading this week, which boy gets more time playing video games and how do you know?

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
