Answer:
[tex]C = (2,-1)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]A = (-5,-1)[/tex]
[tex]B = (-5,3)[/tex]
[tex]D = (2,3)[/tex]
Required
The coordinate of the fourth point (C)
The given coordinates indicate the rectangle is vertical/horizontal because it has similar x and y values.
The coordinate of such rectangle can be represented as:
[tex]A = (x_1,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]B = (x_1,y_2)[/tex]
[tex]C = (x_2,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]
By comparing the general coordinates with the given coordinates, we have:
[tex]x_1 = -5[/tex] --- see A and B
[tex]y_1 = -1[/tex] --- see A and C
[tex]x_2 = 2[/tex] ---- see C and D
[tex]y_2 = 3[/tex] --- see B and D
So, we have:
[tex]C = (x_2,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]C = (2,-1)[/tex]
