Graph the square.

key idea

An ordered pair

(

)

tells you the location of a point on the coordinate plane.

The

-coordinate

tells you the horizontal position.

The

-coordinate

tells you the vertical position.

solution

Graph the point

(

–

)

Start at (0, 0). Move 3 units left.

To draw one side of the square, graph the point

(

)

To draw another side of the square, graph the point

(

)

Now figure out where the fourth vertex should go. Find the point that makes all sides of the square the same length.

The fourth vertex of the square is
