Question
State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.
Points A(4, 3), B(6, 4), C(5, -6) and D(-3, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram.

Answer

False:The diagonals of parallelogram bisect each othere so, ABCD will be a parallelogram if,
mid-point of diagonal AC = mid-point of diagonal BD
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2}{2}\Big)=\Big(\frac{\text{x}'_1+\text{x}'_2}{2},\frac{\text{y}'_1+\text{y}'_2}{2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{4+5}{2},\frac{-6+3}{3}\Big)=\Big(\frac{6-3}{4+5}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{9}{2},\frac{-3}{2}\Big)\neq\Big(\frac{3}{2},\frac{9}{2}\Big)$
Hence ABCD is not a parallelogram.

The points $B_1, B_2, \ldots, B_7$ are located at equal distances on $B X, B_3$ is joined to $C$ and then a line segment $B_6 C^{\prime}$ is drawn parallel to $B_3 C$ where $C^{\prime}$ lies on BC produced. Finally, line segment $A ^{\prime} C ^{\prime}$ is drawn parallel to AC .
