Solution:

Properties of Square

1. All sides are equal.

2. Opposite sides are parallel.

3. Diagonals are equal and bisect each other at right angles.

As, given point of intersection of diagonals of square is (-1,4).

And, One of the sides of the quadrilateral is bounded by (2,7) and (-3,5).  

Drawn the picture of square below,

Let, the third and fourth vertices of square be (x,y) and (p,q).

As, diagonals of square bisect each other. So,

[tex]\frac{x+2}{2}=-1\\\\ x +2=-2\\\\ x=-2-2\\\\ x=-4\\\\ \frac{y+7}{2}=4\\\\ y+7=8\\\\ y=8-7\\\\ y=1\\\\ \frac{p-3}{2}=-1\\\\ p-3=-2\\\\ p=3-2\\\\ p=1 \\\\ \frac{q+5}{2}=4\\\\ q+5=8\\\\ q=8-5\\\\ q=3[/tex]

So, third and fourth vertices are (-4,1) and (1,3).
