WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Q1) ABCD is a square. A is the point (-2,0) and C is the point (6,4). AC and BD are diagonals of the square, which intersect at M.
a) Find the coordinates of M, B and D.
b) Find the area of ABCD.

  a)  M(2,2), B(4, -2), D(0, 6)

  b)  40

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The midpoint of AC is the average of the endpoint coordinates.

  M = (A +C)/2

  M = ((-2, 0) +(6, 4))/2 = (4, 4)/2

  M = (2, 2)

There are several ways to find points B and D. One of them is to rotate points A and C 90° about M. The 90° CCW rotation transformation about the origin is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-y, x)

About the point (2, 2), the transformation would be ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (-(y -2)+2, (x -2)+2) = (4 -y, x)

Rotating point A 90° to get point B, we have ...

  B = (4 -0, -2)

  B = (4, -2)

And rotating C to get point D, we have ...

  D = (4 -4, 6)

  D = (0, 6)

b) The area of the square is half the square of the diagonal. The square of the diagonal can be found using the distance formula ...

  d² = AC² = (6-(-2))² +(4 -0)² = 64 +16 = 80

Then the area is ...

  area = AC²/2 = 80/2

  area = 40 . . . . square units

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
