Use graph paper and a straightedge to draw the figure. The set of points (–1, 2), (5, 2), (5, –4), and (–1, –4) identifies the vertices of a quadrilateral

Respuesta :

Can you plot these four points as a start?

Answer with explanation:

The four vertices of a two dimensional geometrical shape are set of points A(–1, 2), B(5, 2),C (5, –4), and D(–1, –4).

Now plotting it on X Y plane

Point of intersection of Diagonals that is AC and B D given by the formula

   [tex]{\text{Mid point of AC}}=[\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}]\\\\=[\frac{-1+5}{2},\frac{-4+2}{2}]\\\\=(2,-1)\\\\{\text{Mid point of BD}}=[\frac{5-1}{2},\frac{2-4}{2}]=(2,-1)[/tex]

Distance formula between two points in two dimensional plane

 [tex]=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(5+1)^2+(2-2)^2}=6\\\\BC=6\\\\CD=6, \\\\DA=6[/tex]

So, the Quadrilateral is Rhombus,because all sides are equal.

Slope of line between two points is given by

[tex]=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

 Slope of AB

                  [tex]=\frac{2-2}{5+1}=\frac{0}{6}[/tex]

Slope of BC

     [tex]=\frac{-4-2}{5-5}=\frac{-6}{0}[/tex]

Product of slopes = -1

Hence ∠ABC=90°

If in a rhombus one angle measures 90°,then it a Square.

So, Above Quadrilateral with given vertices is a Square.
