Algebra.Com's Answer #259471 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. A parallelogram WXYZ has three vertices at W(2,1),X(-1,5),Y(-3,3). \n" ); document.write( "a) Find the Midpoint of WY \n" ); document.write( "Find the x and y separately. Use the average of x and y \n" ); document.write( "For x: (2 - 3)/2 = -1/2 \n" ); document.write( "For y: (1 + 3)/2 = 2 \n" ); document.write( "--> M(-1/2,2) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "b) Use this information to find the Co-ordinates of Z \n" ); document.write( "The midpoint M is also the midpoint of the other diagonal XZ \n" ); document.write( "X is (-1,5) and M is (-1/2,2) \n" ); document.write( "The x value increases 1/2 to the midpoint, so it increases 1/2 again to point X. \n" ); document.write( "-1/2 + 1/2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "The y value decreases 3 to the midpoint, so it decreases 3 again to point X. \n" ); document.write( "2 - 3 = -1 \n" ); document.write( "--> X (0,-1) \n" ); document.write( " |
