Question

Three vertices of a rectangle have coordinates (–6, 2), (–6,–1), and (4, 2).
What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rectangle?
A.
(–6, –2)
B.
(–6, 1)
C.
(4, –1)
D.
(4, –2)

Answer 1

Start with two vertex points from one side of the rectangle:
(4, 0) and (2, -3).
Subtract the X coordinates: 4 - 2 = 2
Subtract the Y coordinates: 0 - -3 = 3
Now, start with the third vertex point that is given:
(-2,4).
The differences for the X & Y coordinates between the third vertex point and the fourth vertex point will be the same as the differences between the 1st and 2nd points, so start with the 3rd point X coordinate and subtract 2 from it to get the X coordinate for the fourth point:
-2 - 2 = -4.
Then, take the 3rd point Y coordinate and subtract 4 to get the Y coordinate for the fourth point:

Answer 2

4 - 3 = 1
So, your fourth vertex point is (-4, 1).
See the attached picture.
This works because each of the two sets of sides of a rectangle are parallel to each other.

Answer 4

The answer is A because a rectangle has sides that go straight down basically -3 there has to be two -3 for x coordinate and two 7 for y coordinate and the missing coordinate also has to line up with the coordinate right next to it so it must have -4 as it's coordinate so basically the coordinate vertically across from it has the same x coordinate and the coordinate horizontal from it has the same y coordinate. So it's (-3,-4)
