Answer

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation

(6,2) is the same as (3,1) because the x value and y value are proportional, meaning you multiplied or divided both the x value and y value by the same number.

6 divided by 2 is 3.

2 divided by 2 is 1.

(1,3) doesn't work because the x value and y value are switched.

6 divided by 6 is 1.

2 divided by 6 is not 3.

(8,12) doesn't work because the x value and y value are switched... and it wouldn't work anyways.

6 divided by 3/4 is 8.

2 divided by 3/4 is not 2.

(12,8) doesn't work because the x value and y value aren't proportional.

12 divided by 2 is 6.

8 divided by 2 is not 6.

Therefore only (3,1) could be another ratio to (6,2).
