To determine the ratio of red paint to blue paint in the coordinate plane, we need to count the number of data points on each axis.
There are 4 data points on the X-axis and 4 data points on the Y-axis.
Therefore, the ratio of red paint to blue paint is 4:4, which simplifies to 1:1.
So, the correct answer is 1:1.
IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE ANSWER SHOWN
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the ratio of red paint to blue paint based on the given data points.
The given data points are (2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), and (8, 12). These points represent the x and y coordinates on the coordinate plane.
From the x-coordinates, we can see that the red paint increments by 2 each time.
From the y-coordinates, we can see that the blue paint increments by 3 each time.
Since the given increments are constant, we can calculate the ratio of red paint to blue paint by dividing the highest value of red paint by the highest value of blue paint.
The highest value of red paint is 8, and the highest value of blue paint is 12.
Therefore, the ratio of red paint to blue paint is 8:12, which simplifies to 2:3.
So, the correct answer is 2:3.
To answer the question, we need to understand the coordinate plane and the given data points.
The coordinate plane is a grid formed by two perpendicular lines called the x-axis and the y-axis. The x-axis represents horizontal values and the y-axis represents vertical values.
In this case, the x-axis ranges from 0 to 10 with increments of 2, and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 15 with increments of 3.
The given data points are (2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), and (8, 12). These points represent coordinates on the coordinate plane.
To calculate the ratio of red paint to blue paint, we need to determine the number of points that fall on the x-axis (red paint) and the number of points that fall on the y-axis (blue paint).
From the given data points, we can see that all the y-coordinates are multiples of 3, which means they fall on the y-axis (blue paint). Therefore, there are 4 blue paint points.
On the other hand, the x-coordinates are not multiples of 3, so they do not fall on the y-axis. Thus, there are no red paint points.
Since there are no red paint points and 4 blue paint points, the ratio of red paint to blue paint is 0:4.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0:4, which can also be expressed as the ratio of 0 to 4.
