Enclosing square
The lines below enclose a square.
Can you write the equations for each of the lines?
Can you find other sets of sloping lines that enclose a square?
If you are given the equations of two parallel lines
y=m1x+c1 and y=m2x+c2
can you explain how to find the equations of the other two lines that would enclose a square, if you know that one of the vertices is at (0,c1)?
