Answer: See below

Explanation:

Make a table with first set of numbers as 1,3. Multiply both the numbers of this set sequentially by natural numbers to get the following table

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10......

3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30......

We see that in each set of numbers the 2nd number is 3 times the first number.

If we plot these sets of numbers on a graph paper, we get a model depicting all the points which satisfy this ration requirement.
