The rectangle stays on the same Y coordinate, only the X coordinate changes
Think about it logically for a second.
First, take the two x coordinates (-5 and 5). They span 10 spaces (-5 + 10 = 5). Knowing that, we can deduce that, since the shape is a rectangle the next set of x coordinates will be spaced apart by 10 as well. Thus since we know one point is -5 we can therefore assume that the next point is 5 again.
Given that a rectangle is a shape made up of parrel lines (a parallelagram), we can infer that since both lines on the X axis are parallel, both lines on the Y axis must be as well. Since the first two Y coordinates are at 2 and the 3rd coordinate is as -3, we can safely assume that since the shape is a rectangle, the final coordinate for Y can ONLY BE -3.
Thus, your answer is (5,-3)
I’ve not only answered the question but shown you how I got my answer. You can use this for further study in order to learn the subject matter better.
You’re in summer school! THat sucks. Get out soon!
Yhea it’d be (5,-3).
You will have four points but only two different x values, and only two different y-values.
