Points with coordinates and are three vertices of a rectangle. What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex of the rectangle?
Solution
Since the given three points already form a right angle, then the fourth vertex of the rectangle must be vertically above the point and horizontally to the right of . Therefore, the -coordinate of the fourth vertex is 5 and the -coordinate is 7. Thus, the coordinates of the fourth vertex are .
