Given the points A(-2, 2) and c(4,-1) are opposite
vertices's of a parallelogram.
Then the equations of the
lines for the parallelogram can be obtained .
A(-2,2) is on
both lines, so it satisfies both equations.
==> y-2
= m (x+2)
Now the slope for one side is the same slope for
the line x= 0
==> Then, one side of the
parallelogram is parallel to the y-axis.
==> Then,
the equation of the line is
x =
-2.............(1)
The other side of the parallelogram is
parallel to 3y=x ==> Then the slope is
(1/3)
==> y-2 =
(1/3)(x+2)
==> y= (1/3)x + 2/3 +
2
==> y= (1/3)x +8/3
............(2)
Then, we have the equation of the lines of
the sides of the parallelogram that intersects at the point
(-2,2)
Now we will find the other
sides.
==> We will use the point
B(4,-1)
==> The first equation of the line that is
parallel to the y-axis.
==> Then the equation is x =
4 ..........(3)
==> The other side has the following
equation.
==> y +1 = (1/3)
(x-4)
==> y= (1/3)x - 4/3
-1
==> y= (1/3)x -7/3
..............(4)
Now the remaining points are the
intersection points between the lines (1) with (4) and the lines (2) with
(3).
Intersection point between equation (1) and
(4):
==> x= -2 and y= (1/3)x -
7/3
==> y= (-2/3 - 7/3 = -9/3 =
-3
==> Then, one of the points is ( -2,
-3)
Intersection between lines (2) and
(3).
==> x= 4 and y= (1/3)x +8/3 ==> y= 4/3
+ 8/3 = 12/3 = 4
Then, the point is
(4,4)
==> Then, the points B and D are
(4,4) and (-2,-3).
