उत्तर

Let ABCD be a parallelogram in which the coordinates of the vertices are A (-2,-1); B (1, 0) and C (4, 3). We have to find the co-ordinates of the forth vertex.

Let the fourth vertex be `D(x,y)`

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. Therefore the mid-point of the diagonals of the parallelogram will coincide.

Now to find the mid-point P(x,y) of two points `A(x_1, y_1)` and `B(x_2, y_2)` we use section formula as,

`P(x,y) = ((x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2)`

The mid-point of the diagonals of the parallelogram will coincide.

So,

Co-ordinate of mid-point AC = Coordinate of mid-point of BD

Therefore,

`((x+1)/2, y/2) = ((4-2)/2, (3 -1)/2)`

`((x + 1)/2,y/2) = (1,1)`

Now equate the individual terms to get the unknown value. So,

x = 1

y =  2

So the forth vertex is D(1, 2)
