Question 1070138: In a coordinate system Tom drew a square. One of its diagonals lies on the x-axis. The coordinates of the two vertices on the x-axis are (−1, 0) and (5, 0). Which of the following are the
coordinates of another vertex of this square?
(A) (2, 0) (B) (2, 3) (C) (2, −6) (D) (3, 5) (E) (3, −1)

It helps to draw this.
The diagonal is from (-1,0) to (5,0), or 6 units
The midpoint of the diagonal (2,0) is the center of the square.
The diagonals are perpendicular to each other and equal in length, so the other diagonal is on the x=2 line from y=-3 to y=3
The vertices are (2,3) and (2,-3)
The answer is B.
