AMC12 2006 B · Q8. It mainly tests Linear equations.

The lines $x = \frac 14y + a$ and $y = \frac 14x + b$ intersect at the point $(1,2)$. What is $a + b$?
直线 $x = \frac 14y + a$ 和 $y = \frac 14x + b$ 相交于点 $(1,2)$。$a + b$ 等于多少?
(A) 0 0
(B) \frac{3}{4} \frac{3}{4}
(C) 1 1
(D) 2 2
(E) \frac{9}{4} \frac{9}{4}
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
$4x-4a=y$ $4x-4a=\frac{1}{4}x+b$ $4\cdot1-4a=\frac{1}{4}\cdot1+b=2$ $a=\frac{1}{2}$ $b=\frac{7}{4}$ $a+b=\frac{9}{4} \Rightarrow \fbox{(E)}$
$4x-4a=y$ $4x-4a=\frac{1}{4}x+b$ $4\cdot1-4a=\frac{1}{4}\cdot1+b=2$ $a=\frac{1}{2}$ $b=\frac{7}{4}$ $a+b=\frac{9}{4} \Rightarrow \fbox{(E)}$
