Write a program that takes as input two opposite corners of a rectangle: the lower left-hand corner (x1,y1) and the upper right-hand corner (x2,y2). Finally, the user is prompted for the coordinates of a third point (x, y). The program should print Boolean value True or False based on whether the point (x, y) lies within the rectangle.

This program is written using Python

Program doesn't make use of comments; however, see explanation section for detailed explanation

Program starts here

print("Enter the coordinates of the rectangle")

x1 = float(input("x1: "))

y1 = float(input("y1: "))

x2 = float(input("x2: "))

y2 = float(input("y2: "))

print("Enter the coordinates to check")

x = float(input("x: "))

y = float(input("y: "))

if (x1<=x<=x2 and y1<=y<=y2):

    print(True)

else:

    print(False)

Explanation:

This next 5 lines prompt the user to enter the coordinates of the rectangle

print("Enter the coordinates of the rectangle")

x1 = float(input("x1: "))

y1 = float(input("y1: "))

x2 = float(input("x2: "))

y2 = float(input("y2: "))

The next 3 lines prompt the user to enter the coordinate to check

print("Enter the coordinates to check")

x = float(input("x: "))

y = float(input("y: "))

The next line checks if the input coordinate is within the coordinate of the rectangle

if (x1<=x<=x2 and y1<=y<=y2):

   print(True) -> This statement is executed if the if condition is true

else:

   print(False)-> This statement is executed if the if otherwise

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
