Question
Draw the lines x = − 3, x = 2, y = − 2, y = 3 and write the coordinates of the vertices of the square so formed.
Solution
The lines x = − 3 and x = 2 are parallel to the y-axis. They pass through (−3, 0) and (2, 0), respectively.
Similarly, the lines y = − 2, y = 3 are parallel to the x-axis. They pass through (0, −2) and (0, 3), respectively.
The lines x = − 3, x = 2, y = − 2 and y = 3 are drawn as shown in the following figure.
Clearly, the coordinates of the square that is formed are (2, 3), (−3, 3), (−3, −2) and (2, −2).
