Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (-13,-4)

For point R ( x , y ) aligned & ( x -5 2 , y +4 2 )=(3,-4) & R (11,-12) aligned Since PQRS is square Q (-5,-12) and S (4,11) Also PMQC is square N ( x , y )= ( -5-5 2 , 4,-12 2 )=(-5,-4) For point M ( x , y ) aligned & ( x+3 2 , y-4 2 )=(-5,-4) & M(-13,-4) aligned
