The correct Answer is:
To prove that the points A (-1, -2), B (4, 3), C (2, 5), and D (-3, 0) form a rectangle, we need to show that opposite sides are equal and parallel, and that the angles between adjacent sides are 90 degrees. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Calculate the distances between the points.** 1. **Distance AB:** \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} = \sqrt{(4 - (-1))^2 + (3 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{(4 + 1)^2 + (3 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \] 2. **Distance BC:** \[ BC = \sqrt{(2 - 4)^2 + (5 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \] 3. **Distance CD:** \[ CD = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (0 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \] 4. **Distance DA:** \[ DA = \sqrt{(-1 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \] **Step 2: Check if opposite sides are equal.** From the calculations: - \( AB = CD = 5\sqrt{2} \) - \( BC = DA = 2\sqrt{2} \) Thus, opposite sides are equal. **Step 3: Calculate the slopes to check for right angles.** 1. **Slope of AB:** \[ m_{AB} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{3 - (-2)}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 \] 2. **Slope of BC:** \[ m_{BC} = \frac{5 - 3}{2 - 4} = \frac{2}{-2} = -1 \] 3. **Slope of CD:** \[ m_{CD} = \frac{0 - 5}{-3 - 2} = \frac{-5}{-5} = 1 \] 4. **Slope of DA:** \[ m_{DA} = \frac{-2 - 0}{-1 - (-3)} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1 \] **Step 4: Check if the product of slopes of adjacent sides equals -1.** - For sides AB and BC: \[ m_{AB} \cdot m_{BC} = 1 \cdot (-1) = -1 \quad \text{(90 degrees)} \] - For sides BC and CD: \[ m_{BC} \cdot m_{CD} = -1 \cdot 1 = -1 \quad \text{(90 degrees)} \] - For sides CD and DA: \[ m_{CD} \cdot m_{DA} = 1 \cdot (-1) = -1 \quad \text{(90 degrees)} \] - For sides DA and AB: \[ m_{DA} \cdot m_{AB} = -1 \cdot 1 = -1 \quad \text{(90 degrees)} \] Since the product of the slopes of each pair of adjacent sides is -1, all angles are 90 degrees. ### Conclusion: Since opposite sides are equal and parallel, and all angles are 90 degrees, the points A, B, C, and D form a rectangle. ---
