Step-by-step solution
5 stepsDetermine the coordinates of M, the midpoint of AB.
The midpoint formula for two points and is .
Given and .The coordinates of M are .
Determine the gradient of line MN.
Since , their gradients are equal. The gradient formula for two points and is .
Given and .Therefore, the gradient of line MN is .
Determine the equation of line MN in the form .
We have the gradient (from Step 2) and point (from Step 1).
Using the point-slope form :The equation of line MN is .
Calculate, with reasons, the coordinates of point N.
Given that is the midpoint of and .
By the Midpoint Theorem (or its converse), if a line passes through the midpoint of one side of a triangle and is parallel to another side, then it bisects the third side.
Therefore, is the midpoint of .
Given and .The coordinates of N are .
If ABCD (in that order) is a parallelogram, determine the coordinates of point D.
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This means the midpoint of is the same as the midpoint of .
From Step 4, the midpoint of is .
Let . The midpoint of is .
Given .
Equating the midpoints:The coordinates of D are .
