Question 444485: "The pairs (-2, -3), (-2, 2), (4, -3) can serve as three of four vertices for three different parallelograms. Find the fourth vertex of each parallelogram."
I am completely lost. I know the fourth set is (4, 2), but what else do I have to solve for? The question says 3 parallelograms? There is nothing in my book regarding this...help please?

"I know the fourth set is (4,2)" is not precisely correct. What you know is that one possibility for the fourth ordered pair is (4,2). But how about (-8,2) which makes a different parallelogram with the three given points? There is yet another point that combines with the three given points to give yet another different parallelogram. I'll leave that to you to find.
