When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,
y=kx
Plug in (5,100)
100=k(5)
K=20

Answer:
B. 1.5 = 2p
Step-by-step explanation:
If p is the fraction of the price of a pizza, then 2p is the actual value of that fraction. We're told that is equal to the price of a hotdog, so ...
2p = 1.5
or
1.5 = 2p . . . . . . matches choice B
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Some of us would "cut to the chase" and compute the fraction directly:
p = (price of hotdog)/(price of pizza) = 1.5/2
No such choice is offered, so the next best is the equation you get when you multiply this by 2:
2p = 1.5
Let's go through the answer choices one by one:
A. False. The line segment contains more than just the endpoints
B. False. There are points in this description that extend beyond the endpoints. If this was a line instead of a segment, then choice B would be the answer
C. True. This is the answer. Though your teacher should have added "collinear" to the sentence to make it clear that the points are between M and N, and also collinear to M and N. All of these points form the line segment MN
D. False. That would be the perpendicular bisector of MN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So once again, the final answer is choice C
