Question

Use the following graph to answer questions 1 and 2.
A grid is shown with line segments.
Three points on a grid are connected by black line segments. The first point is at the lower left corner of the grid. The second point is 2 units up and 3 units right from the first point. The third point is 4 points up and 6 units right from the second point.

A red triangle is created by drawing a segment 3 units right from the first point and then a segment 2 units up to the second point on the black line segment.

The blue triangle is with a segment that goes up 4 units from the second point and then 6 units right to the third point on the black line segment.
