Start with plotting the given points in a coordinate plane.
(4,-2)
Let's begin with plotting the given points in a coordinate plane. We can connect these two points with a segment.
Since we know that â–³ JKL is a right triangle with a right angle at the vertex K, we can deduct that the vertex L is lying on the horizontal line y=-2.
If △ JKL is a 45^(∘)-45^(∘)-90^(∘) triangle, then the lengths of segments JK and KL are equal, as this triangle is isosceles. Let's evaluate the length of JK.
Therefore, the third vertex L is 7 units from K either in a positive or a negative direction. However, as we are asked to find the coordinates of L in Quadrant IV we will consider only the first case.
The coordinates of the vertex L are (4,-2).
