A scale drawing of a storage box on a coordinate grid shows a square with the points (-4, 2) and (-1, 4) as the locations of two adjacent vertices.

Which pair of coordinate points could represent the other two vertices?

Can you find the equation of the line through your two points?
that's the first step...

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

cool.  next step is to find the equations of those two lines that are perpendicular to your line...  that's pretty easy,  if the slope of the first line you found is 'm', their slopes will be -1/m    and they each go through one of the vertices... so you have a point and a slope...

if you've found those three lines, that last step should be easy...
