Prove the following statement: If $r_1$ and $r_2$ are real numbers whose quotient is irrational, then any real number $x$ can be approximated arbitrarily well by the numbers of the form $\ z_{k_1,k_2} = k_1r_1 + k_2r_2$ integers, i.e. for every number $x$ and every positive real number $p$ two integers $k_1$ and $k_2$ can be found so that $|x - (k_1r_1 + k_2r_2)| < p$ holds.
