If you want to prove that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other using coordinate geometry, how would you place the parallelogram on the coordinate plane? Give the coordinates of the vertices for the placement you choose.

Answer:

In general you can choose the vertices at any arbitrary points but for easier computations and calculations we can choose 1 vertex at origin with co-ordinates [tex](0,0)[/tex] and it's adjacent vertex either on x-axis with co-ordinates [tex](x,0)[/tex] or on y-axis with ordinates [tex](0,y)[/tex]

Thus the coordinates of vertices become
