Answer:

(-1, 1) and (2, 2)

Explanation:

Please present points with coordinates enclosed in parentheses:

(-3, 2) and (2, 1).

Looking at the x-coordinates first, we see that the smallest is -3 and the largest is 2; thus, the horizontal distance between these two points is 5. Looking at the y-coordinates, we see that the vertical distance is 1.

Starting from the vertex (2, 1), draw a vertical side of the rectangle upward. This brings us to (2, 2), which is another vertex.

Finally, starting from the vertex (2, 1), draw a horiz. side of the rectangle leftward. This brings us to (-1, 1), which is the fourth vertex.

The two desired vertexes are (-1, 1) and (2, 2).
