Answer:
(5, 8), (6, 7), (7, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The table shows a rate of 21/13. This can be represented on the given graph by a line between the origin and the point (6.5, 10.5). Any point on the graph falling below that line will represent a rate less than the one in the table.
Points (5, 8), (6, 7), and (7, 6) fall below the line, so are the points you need to select.

Comment on analytical comparison
The point (x, y) represents a unit rate of y/x. To find out if that rate is lower than 21/13, we can subtract it and see if the sign is positive.
... 21/13 - y/x = (21x -13y)/(13x)
Since we're only interested in the sign, we only need to look at the value of ...
... 21x -13y
For point (5, 8) this expression evaluates to ...
... 21·5 -13·8 = 105 -104 = 1 . . . . has a positive sign
This means the rate represented by the point (5, 8) is lower than the rate represented by the point (13, 21), so should be selected as part of the answer.
