\n" ); document.write( "Answer: (5,13)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Explanation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To go from B to C we go up 9 and right 2
\n" ); document.write( "Start at point A(3,4) and go up 9 and right 2 so you arrive at (5,13)
\n" ); document.write( "This is where D should be placed to get parallelogram ABCD.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Technically there are 2 other spots D could go if we didn't care about the order of ABCD. But I'll assume that the order matters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To prove that ABCD is a parallelogram, you need to show that
\n" ); document.write( "slopeAB = slopeCD
\n" ); document.write( "slopeBC = slopeAD
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let the student do these verifications. The slope formula is
\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "or you can use the rise/run concept. \r
