Correct answer: D
-
Let the given two sides of the parallelogram lie along the lines and
Since two sides of a parallelogram are along these lines, they must meet at one vertex of the parallelogram.
-
Find their point of intersection. Solve Adding, Then
So one vertex is
-
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. Hence if the diagonals intersect at , then is the midpoint of each diagonal.
Therefore the vertex opposite to is the reflection of about .
Let the opposite vertex be . Using midpoint formula,
So,
Thus,
-
Let the other two vertices be on one side through and on the other side through .
Then the four vertices are with Since we must have
-
Now lies on one of the given lines and lies on the other.
Check the options to see which can be a vertex. If one option is , then the corresponding other vertex is
-
Option A: so it lies on . Then Check on other line: Not possible.
-
Option B: and Not on either given side. Not possible.
-
Option C: and Not on either given side. Not possible.
-
Option D: Check: so it lies on . Then Check on the other line: so it lies on . Hence this is valid.
-
-
Therefore, one vertex of the parallelogram is
