Algebra.Com's Answer #231325 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The best way is to plot the points on a graph, then \n" ); document.write( "use the fact that opposite sides of the parallelogram \n" ); document.write( "are parallel and equal length \n" ); document.write( "You can reason it out, also. \n" ); document.write( "Take the points C(6,3) and D(1,3) \n" ); document.write( "The y's of both points are the same \n" ); document.write( "That means the line connecting these points is horizontal \n" ); document.write( "Also note the x's differ by \n" ); document.write( "That means the side opposite is 5 units long \n" ); document.write( "and is also horizontal \n" ); document.write( "You are given the other point A(2,7) \n" ); document.write( "To make a horizontal line, point B must look like \n" ); document.write( "B(x,7), and the line AB must be 5 units long \n" ); document.write( "That means \n" ); document.write( "Therefore B(7,7) is the missing point \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
