Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows red paint on the X-axis and blue paint on the Y-axis. The X-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The Y-axis ranges from 0 to 15 in increments of 3. The data points are left parenthesis 2 comma 3 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 6 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 9 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 8 comma 12 right parenthesis.

Choose the coordinate pair to plot on the coordinate plane so the ratio stays equivalent.

Answer 1

To determine which coordinate pair keeps the ratio equivalent, we need to look at the pattern in the given points.

If we look at the x-values, we can see that they increase by 2 for each point: 2, 4, 6, 8.

If we look at the y-values, we can see that they increase by 3 for each point: 3, 6, 9, 12.

Therefore, the ratio of the x-values to the y-values is always 2:3.

To keep the ratio equivalent, we need to choose a point that also has a ratio of 2:3.

The only option that satisfies this condition is (10, 15), so the answer is:

(10, 15)
