Question

Parallelogram ABCD has the coordinates:
A (1, -3)
B (1, 0)
C (4, 2)

Find the coordinates of point D.
A). (4, 0)
B). (4, -1)
C). (3, -1)
D). (5, -2)

Answer 1

have you started this problem at all?

Answer 2

I've skipped around this one. But I think I start by finding the distance between these points? right?

Answer 3

no need to do that really

Answer 4

first plot the 3 points

Answer 5

now use that graph to find the slope of BC

Answer 6

what is the slope of BC

Answer 7

just a moment

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

ok , I plotted them

Answer 10

what's the slope of BC

Answer 11

is it 2/3 ?

Answer 12

so to to from point B to C, you go up 2, then to the right 3

Answer 13

if you started at point A, and followed that same rule (up 2, over 3), you would land on point D

Answer 14

to go*

Answer 15

so the answer is c! thanks because I was making it harder than it was.

Answer 16

it's not C, you miscounted somehow

Answer 17

omg.

Answer 18

silly mistake I'm sure

Answer 19

see attached

Answer 20

notice you start at A, go up 2, then over to the right 3 to land on (4,-1)

Answer 21

4,-1 got it. silly mistake.

Answer 22

yeah no big deal really, but glad it's making sense (I hope?)

Answer 23

It is. Theres another problem like this one I wanna make sure im doing it right.

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

it won't let me copy & past so should I just make another question?

Answer 26

either way is fine

Answer 27

okay. i'll make another.
