The coordinates of three vertices of a parallelogram are $(-3,1)$, $(5,-2)$, and $(0,0)$. Find the sum of the coordinates of the fourth vertex which is in the third quadrant.
Find the sum of the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

-3 + 2 = -1
The sum of the coordinates of the fourth vertex is -1.
!
Sorry, I wrote down the coordinates of my point A incorrectly.
Just a slight mistake by asinus
Slope of AD = -1/3
We need to solve this to find the x coordinate of the missing vertex
(-2/5)(x + 3) + 1 = (-1/3)(x -5) - 2
-6 ( x + 3) + 15 = -5 (x - 5) - 30
-6x - 3 = -5x -5
x = 2
y = (-2/5)(2 + 3) + 1 = -1
The 4th vertex = (2. -1) { This is in the 4th Q , not the 3rd Q }
Sum of coordinates = 1
