Answer:
the coordinates of the other corner are (-10/3, -1 3/4).
The four ordered pairs that represent the corners of Maya's rectangular driveway are (-1, 1), (1 1/2, -8 1/2), (-10/3, -1 3/4), and (1 1/2, -1 3/4).
Explanation:
To plot the other two corners of Maya's rectangular driveway, we need to determine the coordinates of the points that are diagonally opposite to the points (-1, 1) and (1 1/2, -8 1/2).
Since the points (-1, 1) and (1 1/2, -8 1/2) are diagonally opposite, we can draw a line through the center of the rectangle that is perpendicular to the line connecting these two points. The center of the rectangle can be found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the two points. The x-coordinate of the center is (-1 + 1 1/2)/2 = 1/4 and the y-coordinate of the center is (1 + -8 1/2)/2 = -3 3/4.
We can then use the center of the rectangle and the slope of the line connecting (-1, 1) and (1 1/2, -8 1/2) to find the coordinates of the other two corners. The slope of the line is (-8 1/2 - 1)/(1 1/2 - (-1)) = -17/3, so the slope of the line perpendicular to it is -3/17.
We can use this slope and the center of the rectangle to find one of the remaining corners by moving a fixed distance in the y-direction from the center. For example, if we move 2 units in the positive y-direction from the center, we will reach the point (1/4, -3 3/4 + 2) = (1/4, -1 3/4). We can then use the slope of the line to find the x-coordinate of the other corner by solving the equation y = mx + b for x, where m is the slope, x is the x-coordinate of the corner, y is the y-coordinate of the corner, and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the center, so we can solve the equation as follows:
y = -3/17 * x + (-3 3/4)
x = (y - (-3 3/4))/(-3/17)
Substituting the coordinates of the corner we found earlier, we get:
x = (-1 3/4 - (-3 3/4))/(-3/17) = (2)/(-3/17) = -10/3
So, the coordinates of the other corner are (-10/3, -1 3/4).
The four ordered pairs that represent the corners of Maya's rectangular driveway are (-1, 1), (1 1/2, -8 1/2), (-10/3, -1 3/4), and (1 1/2, -1 3/4).
