Question

Plot the following points: (8,4),(−4,4),(−4,−2),(8,−2) What shape do the points make?

a. Square
b. Kite
c. Circle
d. Rectangle

Answer 1

The given points form a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (8,4),(-4,4),(-4,-2),(8,-2). To plot these points, we need to locate them on a coordinate grid. The first number in each pair represents the x-coordinate and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

1. Point (8,4) is located 8 units to the right and 4 units up from the origin.
2. Point (-4,4) is located 4 units to the left and 4 units up from the origin.
3. Point (-4,-2) is located 4 units to the left and 2 units down from the origin.
4. Point (8,-2) is located 8 units to the right and 2 units down from the origin.

Connecting these points with straight lines, we can see that they form a rectangle.
