Answer:
c. (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
as we can clearly see, the 4th vertex has to be on the positive side of x.
therefore, all answer options with negative x are out.
(2, -5) is almost at D (-1, 5). that cannot be right for a rectangle.
that leaves only c as right answer.
FYI - how to get this without predefined answer portions ?
the x- difference of B to A is 4 (from -5 to -1). the x-difference from D to C must be the same (4). 1 + 4 = 5.
so, x of D must be 5.
the y- difference of B to A is 3 (from 3 to 6). the y-difference from D to C must be the same (3). -5 + 3 = -2.
so, y of D must be -2.
Answer:
![\rule[225]{225}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crule%5B225%5D%7B225%7D%7B2%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope through two points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - -5)/(4 - -8)
m = 9/12 = 3/4
The slope of the line is 3/4.
Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y = 3/4x + b
A point on the line is (4, 4). x = 4 and y =4.
4 = 3/4(4) + b
4 = 3 + b
b = 1
The y-intercept is 1.
