Explanation:

Step1: Calculate ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ for first pair

$\frac{6.5}{2} = 3.25$

Step2: Calculate ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ for second pair

$\frac{12}{4} = 3$

Step3: Compare the two ratios

$3.25
eq 3$

Step4: Verify with third pair (optional check)

$\frac{17.5}{6} \approx 2.92$

Step5: Verify with fourth pair (optional check)

$\frac{28.5}{10} = 2.85$

Answer:

no
