Answer:

(9, 6)

Explanation:

the given points are

(3, 2)

(6, 4)

so, can you see, how the sequence continues ?

I see immediately that for every 3 additional units of x we add 2 units of y.

so, yes, the next point in the sequence is

(6 + 3, 4 + 2) = (9, 6).

so, this point (or ordered pair) follows the same ratio or proportional relationship between x and y as the points already in the graph.

in other words, they are on the same line following the same slope ("y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another).
