Answer:

2/6

Explanation:

The question says what fraction of the points are neither red nor purple so we can't include that. 6 is the denominator and our numerator is 2 because if you look, the colors are blue, red, purple and we don't include purple and red so we have blue as our leftover. So 2/6 is our answer.
