If (-5, 3), (-7,

Given: Vertices of parallelogram A(-5, 3), B(-7, -2), C(x, 2) and D(2, y)
Theorem: Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Therefore,
P(x, y) is the midpoint of BD and AC.
We know, by midpoint formula that midpoint of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is
.
Now,
For BD,
(x, y) ![]()
(x, y)
….(1)
For AC,
(x, y) ![]()
(x, y)
….(2)
Equating 1 and 2, we get,
![]()
x – 5 = - 5
x = 0
And,
y – 2 = 5
y = 7
Hence, x = 0 and y = 7
