Question

In the $xy$-plane, the point $(p,r)$ lies on the line with equation $y=x+b$, where $b$ is a constant. The point with coordinates $(2p, 5r)$ lies on the line with equation $y=2x+b$. If $p≠0$, what is the value of $r/p$?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

EXPLANATION: Since the point $(p,r)$ lies on the line with equation $y=x+b$, the point must satisfy the equation. Substituting $p$ for $x$ and $r$ for $y$ in the equation $y=x+b$ gives $r=p+b$, or $\bi b$ = $\bi r-\bi p$.

Similarly, since the point $(2p,5r)$ lies on the line with the equation $y=2x+b$, the point must satisfy the equation. Substituting $2p$ for $x$ and $5r$ for $y$ in the equation $y=2x+b$ gives:

$5r=2(2p)+b$

$5r=4p+b$

$\bi b$ = $\bo 5 \bi r-\bo 4\bi p$.

Next, we can set the two equations equal to $b$ equal to each other and simplify:

$b=r-p=5r-4p$

$3p=4r$

Finally, to find $r/p$, we need to divide both sides of the equation by $p$ and by $4$:

$3p=4r$

$3={4r}/p$

$3/4=r/p$

The correct answer is B, $3/4$.
