Question

A scale drawing of a storage box on a coordinate grid shows a square with the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7) as the locations of two adjacent vertices.

Which pair of coordinate points could represent the other two vertices?
(-5, 9) and (-1, 11)
(-5, 9) and (1, 11)
(0, 1) and (3, 3)
(0, 1) and (4, 3)

Answer 1

Did you try to plot the points? It might help

Answer 2

i don't have graph paper or anything and idk of any programs that could help

Answer 3

You saw how I sketched it here. Try it on a piece of paper.

Answer 4

Oh ok but when i plot the points what do i do?

Answer 5

shows a square with the points (-3, 5) and (1, 7) as the locations of two adjacent vertices.
adjacent vertices means the two corners are next to each other

Answer 6

so it looks like we have 2 possible ways to finish drawing the square.

Answer 7

To figure out which pair works, do the same thing as the last problem. Find how far you move in x, and in y to get from the starting point to the ending point (the 2 they gave us)
then see if any of the answers match. In this case we have 2 choices (I think) can you find them?

Answer 8

-5,9 & 1,11

Answer 9

to get from (-3, 5) and (1, 7) we go +4,+2
double check

Answer 10

0,1 & 3,3

Answer 11

OK, pay attention:
start at (-3,5) add 4 to the x, add 2 to the y
-3+4, 5+2 => 1,7 which is the 2nd point
Now do it with each of the possible answers:
I'll do the first one:
(-5, 9) and (-1, 11)
-5+4, 9+2= -1,11 (it matches!)

Now check the next 3

Answer 12

the last one matched too

Answer 13

OK, now to help let's (roughly) sketch our possible square
