Answer:
(b) (-5, 1)
(c) (5, -7)
(d) (9, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinate differences between the given points are ...
(4, 2) -(0, -3) = (4, 5)
The length of the line segment between the points is √(4² +5²) = √41, so this is the side of the square, not a diagonal.
The other four points that could be corners of the square are these same distances, but at right angles. To get points at right angles, the distance values can be swapped, and one of them negated.
Two of the points could be ...
(4, 2) ± (5, -4) = (9, -2) or (-1, 6)
and the other two could be ...
(0, -3) ± (5, -4) = (5, -7) or (-5, 1)
