Plot the points A(7,1), B(-2, 3), C(1, -7) on the coordinate axes below. State the
coordinates of point D such that A, B, C, and D would form a parallelogram.
(Plotting point D is optional.)

Respuesta :

      A             B

D              C

vectors

AB = DC

AB (-2-7 ; 3-1) => AB (-9 ; 2)

DC (1-x : -7-y)

1 - x = -9 => x = 10

-7-y = 2 => y = -9

D(10 ; -9)

Answer:

D = (10, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

If ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB = DC and BC = AD

Therefore,

[tex]\sf x_A-x_B=x_D-x_C[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies 7-(-2)=x_D-1[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies x_D=10[/tex]

[tex]\sf y_A-y_B=y_D-y_C[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies 1-3=y_D-(-7)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies y_D=-9[/tex]

Therefore, D = (10, -9)
