The calculated coordinates of K and L are (s, 0) and (0, -t)

How to determine the coordinates of K and L.

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The rhombus

Also, we have the coordinates of vertices M and N

Where:

M = (-s, 0)

N = (0, t)

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other

This means that the diagonal vertices are equidistant from the origin

So, we have

K = (s, 0) --- because it is at the other end of M

L = (0, -t) --- because it is at the other end of N

Hence, the coordinates of K and L are (s, 0) and (0, -t)
