Using slopes, find the fourth vertex of a parallelogram
If (7,-1), (-3,1) and (-5,5) are its consecutive vertices
-------
Label the points:
A(7,-1), B(-3,1) and C(-5,5)
-------
Find the slope of AB, and the slope of BC
Call the 4th point D
==================
The slope of AD will be the same as the slope of BC
The slope CD will be the same as the slope of AB
=====================
Find the equations of the lines AD and CD.
The intersection is the point D
