Answer:

The correct option is (c,b)

Explanation:

We have given that:

In the coordinate plane, three vertices of rectangle PQRS are P(0, 0), Q(0, b), and S(c, 0)

We have to find what are the coordinates of point R?

The possible line segments in the rectangle PQRS are PQ, QR, RS and SP.

You can see in the attached picture that P is connected with Q, Q is connected with R, R is connected with S and S is connected with P.

Q is connected to R by a straight line y = b and R is connected to S by a straight line x=c.

R is the point where these two lines meet

Thus the coordinates of R are(c,b)....
