using the concept of slope,prove that A(4,3)B(6,4) C(5,6) D(3,5) are the angular points of a square.


For a square all sides should be equal, and perpendicular to each other
So slope of AB = m1 = (4-3)/(6-4) = 1/2
Slope of BC = m2 = (6-4)/(5-6) = -2
Slope of CD = m3 = (5-6)/(3-5) =1/2
Slope of DA = m4 = (3-5)/(4-3) = -2

As AB is perpendicular to BC so m1⨯m2 = -1
So m1⨯m2 = 1/2⨯-2 = -1

Similarly you can check for other sides.

For the square AB = BC = CA = AD
So AB = √(4-3)2 + (6-4)2 = √5
BC = √(6-4)2 + (5-6 )2 = √5

Similarly check for other sides
Hence All the sides are equal and perpendicular to each other. So it is a square
