Clearly, the horizontal distance between B and C is two units (to the right of B), therefore the point D is two units to the right of A, according to parallelogram definition. Now the C has to be translated 4 units down, after all of the processes you will obtain the answer.

Point D has coordinates (-1,-2).

The coordinates of three vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(-3,-2), B(0,2), and-example-1
