Points A(-2, 4), B(1, 3), C(4, -1) and D form a parallelogram. What are the coordinates of D? A. (5, 5) B. (0, 0) C. (1, -2) D. (1, 0) E. (3, 4)

32016673:

help me please

Salmon:

Out of curiosity, do you have graph paper?

32016673:

No. this is all online

Salmon:

Ok then. So grab a piece of any regular lined, or NOT lined paper..... you will need it.

32016673:

okay!

Salmon:

Draw a graph on this piece of paper, and tell me when you are finished

32016673:

how big of a graph?

Salmon:

Not small, but dont let it take up the entire page

32016673:

okay

32016673:

done

Salmon:

Ok, now plot the points of the parallelogram

32016673:

done

Salmon:

Ok now connect the dots. but DO NOT connect A to C

32016673:

done

Salmon:

Plot 5,5 and tell me would that finish this parallelogram and make the right shape?

32016673:

plotted it, but I don't think it makes it the right shape.

Salmon:

Correct, now we can look at 0,0.... what can you tell me after plotting this?

32016673:

it looks close, but to much angle, but it may be my spacing

Salmon:

That is actually correct.... now lets look at E..... 3,4 does this seem right, just looking at it?

32016673:

i got graph paper now, let me fix it i forgot i had some i my bag.

Salmon:

Ok it's fine, you can take your time.

32016673:

done

Salmon:

Ok.... now look at E and plot that..... does that seem right to you?

32016673:

yeah, its the same just rotated 90 degrees

Salmon:

No, it is not the right one.... However look and plot 1,0 Then connect the lines..... does that seem more correct?

32016673:

yeah, its the exat same

Salmon:

Does it look correct though?

32016673:

yes sir

Salmon:

Ma'am but that is your answer. Good job!

32016673:

Oh My goodness. sorry Ma'am i didnt know.

32016673:

Thank you!

Salmon:

It's fine good job!
