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.

To find the ratio of red paint to blue paint, we need to determine the total amount of red and blue paint used.

Looking at the data points, we can see that for every increment of 2 on the X-axis (red paint), there is a corresponding increment of 3 on the Y-axis (blue paint).

Therefore, the ratio of red paint to blue paint is 2:3.
Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows an x-axis ranging from 0 to 5 in increments of 1 and a y-axis ranging from 0 to 20 in increments of 4. The data points are left parenthesis 2 comma 8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 12 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 16 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 20 right parenthesis.

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

To determine a coordinate pair that maintains an equivalent ratio, we need to find a point that has the same ratio of x-axis increment to y-axis increment as the given data points.

Looking at the given data points, we can see that for every increment of 1 on the x-axis, there is a corresponding increment of 4 on the y-axis. Therefore, the ratio of x-axis increment to y-axis increment is 1:4.

To maintain an equivalent ratio, we need to find a point that has the same ratio of x-axis increment to y-axis increment, which is 1:4.

Among the given options, the coordinate pair (1, 4) has the same ratio of 1:4. Therefore, the correct answer is (1, 4).
