Question

If the points P(5, 3) Q(−3, 3) R(−3, −4) and S form a rectangle then find the coordinate of S

Answer 1

Plotting the points on a graph ...(approximately)

Steps:

• Plot P, Q, R approximately on a graph.
• As it is a rectangle, RS should be parallel to PQ and QR should be parallel to PS
• S should lie on the straight line from R parallel to x-axis and straight line from P parallel to y-axis
• Therefore, we get S to be (5, -4)
