First of all we find out if given vertices are adjacent or opposite vertices of the parallelogram.
If these are opposite vertices then the intersection point (2,-5) should be the mid point of the diagonal joining vertices (3,2) & (-1,0). But its mid point is (1,1). Mid point can be calculated by section formula. So givenvertices can not be opposite.
=> given vertices are adjacent vertices.
Now, we calculate the vertex opposite to ( 3,2)
Since diagonals bisect each other. So the intersection point (2,-5) should be the mid point ie m1:m2 = 1:1
Hence third vertex by section formula
2 = (3+x)/2 => x = 1
-5 = (2+y)/2 => y =-12
=> third vertex = ( 1,-12) . . . . . . . . Ans
4th vertex ,opposite to (-1,0) by section formula
2= (-1 +x)/2 => x= 5
-5 = (0 + y)/2 => y= -10
=> fourth vertex = (5,-10). . . . . . . . . .Ans
