Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between the values of y are constant, that is
17 - 13 = 13 - 9 = 9 - 5 = 4
This indicates the relationship is linear.
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 7, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, 9) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = =
= 2
Use any ordered pair from the table for (a, b)
Using (a, b) = (- 7, 5), then
y - 5 = 2(x - (- (- 7)) , that is
y - 5 = 2(x + 7) → A

"Compare ratios" covers a lot of territory. If all you want to do is find which one is larger, you can subtract or divide.
(a/b) - (c/d) > 0 . . . . means a/b is larger
(a/b) / (c/d) > 1 . . . . means a/b is larger
These operations with fractions are done using the methods of arithmetic with fractions that you have been taught.

"Simplify" when applied to ratios usually means common factors are removed from each of the terms.
For example, the ratio 2:12 is a ratio of even numbers, so we know both numbers have a factor of 2. (2 is a factor common to both numbers.) When we divide them both by 2, we have the reduced ratio 1:6. That is, 2:12 simplifies to become 1:6.
(It is helpful to have a good working knowledge of multiplication tables when you approach problems in simplifying ratios.)

In "quick and dirty" terms, you can do the subtraction ...
That is, you really only need to find out if (ad) > (bc) to determine if (a/b) > (c/d). A similar result is obtained when you consider division ...
This will be greater than 1 if (ad) > (bc), signifying that (a/b) > (c/d).

Here's an example with numbers.
... Compare 6/7 to 43/50.
... The relationship of interest will be revealed by the products 6·50 = 300 and 7·43 = 301.
... Since 300 < 301, these tell us 6/7 < 43/50.

We say the above methods are "quick and dirty" because the results may need to be simplified when you're done.
For example, subtracting 1/6 from 1/2 gives
... 1/2 - 1/6 = (1·6 - 2·1)/(2·6) = 4/12
Here, numerator and denominator have a common factor of 4. Removing that gives 4/12 = 1/3.
Even if you do this by the method of common denominators, you still need to reduce the result.
... 1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = (3-1)/6 = 2/6
This must be reduced to 1/3 by removing a common factor of 2 from numerator and denominator.
The main idea is the number of marbles and the denominator of the probability. All you have to do is multiply the fraction by a fraction which is equal to 1 which makes the denominator equal to 63. We know 63 is a multiple of 9. 9 goes 7 times in 63 so we multiple the fraction with
which gives,
which when evaluated gives
and the numerator is the number of red marbles in the bag. So there are 14 red marbles in the bag :D
