Two of the vertices of a rectangle ABCD
are B(-3,1) and D(1,1) and the equation
of the line containing one of the side of
the rectangle is 4x+
7y+5=0 . Find the
equations of the lines containing the remaining sides

Answer:
Since, the side AB is perpendicular to AD
∴ Its equation if of the form 7x−4y+λ=0
Since, it passes through (−3,1)
∴7(−3)−4(1)+λ=0⇒λ=25
∴ Equation of AB is 7x−4y+25=0
Now, BC is parallel to AD
Therefore, its equation is 4x+7y+λ=0
Since, it passes through (1,1).
∴4(1)+7(1)+λ=0⇒λ=−11
∴ equation of BC is 4x+7y−11=0
Now,equation of DC is 7x−4y+λ=0
⇒7(1)−4(1)+λ=0⇒λ=−3
∴7x−4y−3=0
