Final answer:

No, the given points do not form a scale factor of 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (0,0), (2,10), (6,15), (8,20) is a scale factor of 12, we need to check if the ratios of the corresponding y-values to the x-values are equal.

For the first pair of points, the ratio is 10/2 = 5.

For the second pair of points, the ratio is 15/6 = 2.5.

For the third pair of points, the ratio is 20/8 = 2.5.

Since the ratios are not equal, the given points do not form a scale factor of 12.
