try plotting it

anonymous · Answer

Okay

anonymous · Answer

Done

anonymous · Answer

I forgot what equation we used to finde other points

anonymous · Answer

well you dont really need an equation if you have plotted it

anonymous · Answer

what does your graph look like?

anonymous · Answer

I mean to find another point, I think I'm confusing it with a parabola. is it supposed to look like a parabola?

anonymous · Answer

or a straight line?

anonymous · Answer

I'm thinking since it has a vertex it's supposed to look like a parabola

anonymous · Answer

a vertex of a square is a corner of the square

anonymous · Answer

Ohhh I did not know that I'm sorry now I'm thinking of vertices ughhh okay so then it's just a straight line

Yes!

anonymous · Answer

Thats what mine currently resembles

unklerhaukus · Answer

can you draw a square with this point as a corner (vertex),
and with sides all equal to three?

unklerhaukus · Answer

(there are lots of ways you could do this )

anonymous · Answer

I'll try but I don't think mine will be accurate

unklerhaukus · Answer

let me see

unklerhaukus · Answer

are you going to choose the above point as: the top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom right, corner of your square?
