Q9 of 51 Page 10

Without using distance formula, show that points(-2, -1), (4, 0), (3, 3) and (-3, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram.


Let the vertices be A(-2, -1), B(4, 0), C(3, 3), D(-3, 2)

Now mAB = =

mBC = = -3

mAD = = =

mAD = = -3

Now mAB = mCD ⇒ AB || CD

and mBC = mAD ⇒ BC || AD

Hence ABCD is a parallelogram.
