Let's plug the values and see which couple satisfy the equation: since
y = 2\cdot 3^x, if we plug the values from the first option
(x,y)=(1,6) we have



6 = 2\cdot 3^1 = 2\cdot 3


which is correct.


If we plug the values from the second option
(x,y)=(1,9) we have



9 = 2\cdot 3^1 = 2\cdot 3


which is not correct


If we plug the values from the third option
(x,y)=(2,9) we have



9 = 2\cdot 3^2= 2\cdot 9


which is not correct


If we plug the values from the fourth option
(x,y)=(2,12) we have



12 = 2\cdot 3^2= 2\cdot 9


which is not correct


So, the answer is the first one.
