The best way is to plot the points on a graph, then
use the fact that opposite sides of the parallelogram
are parallel and equal length
You can reason it out, also.
Take the points C(6,3) and D(1,3)
The y's of both points are the same
That means the line connecting these points is horizontal
Also note the x's differ by
That means the side opposite is 5 units long
and is also horizontal
You are given the other point A(2,7)
To make a horizontal line, point B must look like
B(x,7), and the line AB must be 5 units long
That means or
Therefore B(7,7) is the missing point
