Question

Given the points on the graph below, what are the coordinates of another point that would create a parallelogram?

(5, 3)
(5, 2)
(5, 0)
(5, 1)

Answer 1

see the left side

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

you have two points on y axis

Answer 4

Those are 0.5 and 0.2 ?

Answer 5

you can think of those grids as floors in an apartment

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

one point is at 2nd floor :- 0 , 2

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

another point is at 5th floor :- 0, 5

Answer 10

ok that makes sense

Answer 11

good :) those are the left side points

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

now tell me, how many floors are in between those two points

Answer 14

there are 2 floors between

Answer 15

think again

Answer 16

if you're in 2nd floor, how many times you wud climb the stair case

Answer 17

first time :- 2nd to 3rd floor

Answer 18

second time :- 3rd to 4th floor

Answer 19

third time :- 4th to 5th floor

Answer 20

so it would be 3, I wasn't sure if you counted the 5th floor

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

actually i asked the question wrongly...

Answer 23

i shoudl have asked, how high is 5th floor from the 2nd floor or something like that... but you get the point right.

Answer 24

now look at the third point

Answer 25

it is at 3rd floor :- (5, 3)

Answer 26

yes I get the point.

Answer 27

yes it is

Answer 28

with reference to this point, tell me the floor numbers that will be at same distance as we got before.. 3 floors away.

Answer 29

ground floor, will be 3 floors away from the 3rd floor, right ?

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

so the other point for parallelogram is (5, 0)

Answer 32

ok

Answer 33

you can also have the other point as (5, 6)

Answer 34

ok

Answer 35

cuz 6th floor is also 3 floors away from the 3rd floor

Answer 36

look at options and pick

Answer 37

one of those two points wud be there in options

Answer 38

I originally thought it was 5,3

Answer 39

(5, 3) is already a given point.

Answer 40

how can another point be at the same point ?

Answer 41

that makes sense, so would it be 5,0, that was my first choice but than I changed it.

Answer 42

Yes. its (5,0), since (5,6) is not given. in parallelogram opposite sides are equal. thats why the coordinates difference of both left side and right side should match (here it is 3 floors)

Answer 43

ok thank you for explaining it.

Answer 44

np :)
