in this problem a rectangle is shown two corners of it have coordinates already (3,9) (-1,3) it wants me to find a third corners coordinates using that How?
Hoot! You just asked your first question! Hang tight while I find people to answer it for you. You can thank people who give you good answers by clicking the 'Good Answer' button on the right!
is the line between those points a diagonal of the rectangle?
even so there isnt enough information from two points
Weird its on my test prep
are the sides parallel and perpendicular to the x and y axes?
yes its just a rectangle
ohh, well you can draw a lot of rectangles form those two points but there is only one where the sides are perpendicular and parallel to the axes. The lower right corner will have the x coord of the upper right corner and the y coord of the lower right corner so it is (3,3)
the upper left corner has the upper right y coord and the lower left x coord so it is (-1,9)
here is why I said you can draw several rectangles. See the attachment I drew another rectangle through (3,9) and (-1,3)
