Desperate for help!!!!!

The diagram shows 3 vertices of a parallelogram. Plot the 3 possible points for the 4th vertex.image.jpg

Can you get one of the parallegrams?
Join the 3 dogs with two lines, then put another two parallel lines on there?

Then join the first three points in a different wah.

The only point I can find is at (-1,-1). I’m really not sure of where I can make another parallelogram though.

How about joining the two furthest apart points as your first line, then...

So that would make the point at (5,-2) then right?

That would be one of them, is there another way of drawing the second line?

I’m kind of stuck here. I’ve been looking at it for a while and can’t find a different way to draw it.

One line joins the two points furthest apart. Either of these points could join to the remaining point. That gives two parallelograms.

I’m still lost but thank you anyway you’ve really been a big help.

You joined the top left point to the middle point for your second case.
Instead join the bottom right point to the middle point to generate the second line.

(-1,-1) (5,-3) (-3,5)
Sounds about right.
