We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)

so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads

in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.

so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.

What equation represents the line that passes through points (1.-5) and (3 -17)?
zzz [600]

ALL LINES CAN BE REPRESENTED IN THE FORM f(x) = ax+b.

We know that:

f(1) = -5 \implies a\cdot(1)+b = -5 \implies a+b = -5

and

f(3) = -17 \implies a\cdot(3) +b = -17 \implies 3a+b = 17

Observe that:

3a+b = 2a+a+b = 2a+(a+b)

So:

2a+(a+b) =-17

But we know that a+b = -5, so:

2a+(a+b) =-17

2a+(-5) = -17

2a = -12

a = -6

Since:

a+b = -5

(-6)+b = -5

b = 1

So the line is:

f(x) = 1-6x
