Answer
ABCD is a parallelogram whose three vertices are A(-2, 3), B(6, 7) and C(8, 3). Let coordinates of its fourth vertex D be (x, y).
The diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at O so O is the mid-point of AC as well as BD.
So, by mid-point formula the coordinates of O are,
Since, (3, 3) is the mid-point of BD so,
∴ Coordinates of D are (0, -1).
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
