Well first off this can't form a rectangle ever. Because if you graph the 3 points then you will find that the slope of the first and third point is 1/4 and that the slope of the second and third point is 3/2. If you multiply those two slopes together you don't get -1 meaning that the two lines are not perpendicular and they don't form 90 degree angles. A rectangle by definition is any quadrilateral with 4 90degree angles. This is not a rectangle by definition. I hope that you understood my explanation!

OpenStudy (jack1):

cheers @iambatman ;D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D!

OpenStudy (jack1):

wait @Kealii808

OpenStudy (jack1):

that way of solving is by drawing the 3 points u know and working out the 4th

OpenStudy (jack1):

the other way is maths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank u i have been stuck on this for days

OpenStudy (jack1):

4,0 to 2, -3 is x-2 and y -3 so to get the other point use -2, 4 to A,B is -2-2 and 4 - 3 = (-4, 1) make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (jack1):

sweet, slaters then ;)
