Extract

Now that formal Euclidean geometry is disappearing from the school syllabus the time is ripe for a reappraisal of the background to analytical geometry

Consider the following question. Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex of a parallelogram A BCD if the other vertices are A(2, 4), J5(l, 1) and (7(7, 2).
