SOLUTION: A square in the coordinate plane has a perimeter of 36 and its lower left vertex at (-1,4). Write an equation for the line through each one of the sides of the square if each side

Question 165046: A square in the coordinate plane has a perimeter of 36 and its lower left vertex at (-1,4). Write an equation for the line through each one of the sides of the square if each side is parallel to one of the two coordinate axes.

The sides of the square are horizontal and vertical
The horizontal side through (-1,4) has the equation
because is the same no matter
what the is
The vertical side through (-1,4) has the equation
because is the same no matter what the
is
If the perimeter is , each side is
units horizontally to the right of (-1,4)
is the point (8,4).
The vertical line through this point parallel to
is ()
So far I have 3 of the 4 lines
The last line passes through (-1,13) parallel to
the x-axis. Its equation is
The equations of the 4 lines are:
