Question Analysis
Determine the fourth vertex of a rectangle using properties of parallel and equal sides in the coordinate plane.
Key Concept Explanation
In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and equal. Horizontally - aligned sides have the same - coordinates for their endpoints, and vertically - aligned sides have the same - coordinates for their endpoints.
Step - by - Step Solution
1. Identify the coordinates of the given points: Let , , .
Since is a horizontal line (same - coordinate ), the opposite side of the rectangle will also be horizontal.
