Very common problem in computational programming is to determine the underlying law to which some phenomenon obeys. For learning purpose let us practice a simple variant - discovering linear dependence by two given observations (for example, how the price for some product depends on its size, weight etc.)

Linear function is defined by an equation:

y(x) = ax + b

Where a and b are some constants.
For example, with a=3, b=2 function will yield values y = 2, 5, 8, 11...
for x = 0, 1, 2, 3...

Your task is to determine a and b by two points, belonging to the function.
I.e. you are told two pairs of values (x1, y1), (x2, y2) which satisfy the function equation - and you should restore the equation itself.

Input data have the number of test-cases in the first line
and then test-cases themselves in separate lines.
Each case contains 4 integers (x1 y1 x2 y2).
Answers should be integer too and you are to write them in line, separating with spaces and enclosing each pair in parenthesis, for example:

input data:
2
0 0 1 1
1 0 0 1

answer:
(1 0) (-1 1)
