I already done all of the problems except for the last one which I am struggling with. The question goes like this :
"Find two points P1 and P2 such that P1, P2, (-4,-2), and (5,3) are the vertices of a rectangle whose sides are parrallel to the coordinate axes."
I tried reading the sample questions but still don't know how to solve this problem. I can totally understand if nobody wants to provide the complete answer but the giving the correct formulas for this question will be highly appreciated. Thanks so much

the answer is (-4,3) and (5, -2)
try plotting the points (-4,-2) and (5,3) on the graph, then place two points in such a way that they make a rectangle. also, remember that if there are two vertices of a rectangle given, you can just switch the x and y values of the two given points: (x1, y2) or (x2, y1)

i think that to solve the problem you do the following: take P2 and subtract P1.also draw out the figure-sketch something to give you a better idea about what you are dealing with.

I love algrebra. But I absolutely hate word problems like this. If I seen the example I would be able to help you. But that particular problem doesn't come to mind. Sorry!
