Question
Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through four plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma negative 6 right parenthesis. The solid line forms the hypotenuse for two triangles. The first triangle is marked with a dotted line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 2, and the perpendicular height on the left is labeled as 2. The second triangle is marked with a dashed line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 6 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma negative 6 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 4, and the perpendicular height on the left is labeled as 4.
