Final answer:

The coordinates for point D, the origin of parallelogram JKLM, can be determined by drawing the difference vector D = A - B along the diagonal connecting the ends of the vectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates for point D, the origin of parallelogram JKLM,
can be determined by drawing the difference vector D = A - B along the diagonal connecting the ends of the vectors.

If vector A has an endpoint at (x1, y1) and vector B has an endpoint at (x2, y2), then point D has the coordinates (x1 - x2, y1 - y2).
