Question

Find the coordinates of a point in Quadrant 3 that makes the following triangles congruent. Triangle GHJ: G(1,−6), H(2,−5), J(2,1) Triangle NOP: N(−6,1), O(−5,2)

Answer 1

• (-6, -5)

Explanation:

Plot the points first:

• Triangle GHJ: G(1,−6), H(2,−5), J(2,1)

• Triangle NOP: N(−6,1), O(−5,2)

Missing Point P is in quadrant 3and its coordinates are (-6, -5) as per symmetry with triangle GHJ.
