Answer:
hey here is your solution
pls mark it as brainliest answer pls
so here we go
Step-by-step explanation:
let the point of intersection of both diagonals ie ac and bd be point o
so as diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other ao=co and bo=do
thus o is midpoint of both diagonals
so let A=(x1,y1)=(-10,6)
C=(x2,y2)=(2,-5)
let O=(x,y)
so by midpoint formula we get
x=x1+x2/2 y=y1+y2/2
substitute given values in it
we get x=-4 y=1/2
so this coordinates of point O are -4 and 1/2
so similarly bo=do
thus let B=(x1,y1)=(0,-1)
D=(x2,y2)=(to be found)
O=(x,y)=(-4,1/2)
so use midpoint formula again
you get
x2=-8 y2=2
thus required fourth coordinates of parallelogram ABCD are -8 and 2
