Answer
The points A(-3, 2), B(-5, -5), C(2, -3) and D(4, 4) are the vertices of a quadrilateral. We need to show that this quadrilateral is a rhombus.
Distance between the given points =
Distance between points A(-3, 2) and B(-5, -5):
Distance between points B(-5, -5) and C(2, -3):
Distance between points C(2, -3) and D(4, 4):
Distance between points D(4, 4) and A(-3, 2):
AB = BC = CD = DA =
Since all sides are equal, the quadrilateral is a rhombus.
Hence, the points (-3, 2), (-5, -5), (2, -3) and (4, 4) are the vertices of a rhombus.
