Question

1. A square garden has the end points listed below. Plot and label these points on the grid: a. A(-7, 6) b. B(-2, -6) c(10, -1) d(5, 11)

Answer 1

The points provided cannot form a square garden. Plotting them correctly on the grid, you'll find that they do not match the criteria for a square due to unequal side lengths and incorrect angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves plotting points on a coordinate grid to represent the corners of a square garden. Unfortunately, the points provided, A(-7, 6), B(-2, -6), C(10, -1), and D(5, 11), do not form a square as the sides do not have equal lengths and the angles between them are not right angles. A square requires four sides of equal length and four right angles. However, to address the task of plotting these points, we would:

1. Start with point A(-7, 6) and plot it by moving 7 units to the left and 6 units up from the origin.
2. Plot point B(-2, -6) by moving 2 units to the left and 6 units down.
3. For point C(10, -1), move 10 units to the right and 1 unit down.
4. Finally, plot point D(5, 11) by moving 5 units to the right and 11 units up.

However, to construct a square garden, we will need to find points equidistant from each other and with 90-degree angles between consecutive sides. Without that, the garden will not be a square.
