Question Analysis
Determine the fourth vertex of a rectangle using the properties of rectangles in the coordinate plane, specifically the parallel and equal - side relationships.
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 vertical line (same - coordinate ), the opposite side will also be vertical.
Since is a horizontal line (same - coordinate
