Consider a  parallelogram ABCD .
Let O be the point of intersection of the diagonals AC and BD


If A (1,2), B (4, Y), C (x,6) And D (3,5) Are Vertices Of A ...


We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
O is the midpoint of both the digonals AC and BD
Now, coordinates of O as mid-point of BD are
O(x,y)=(x1+x22),(y1+y22)
O(a,b)=4+32,y+52(1) 
Also, coordinates of O as mid-point of AC are
O(a,b)=1+x2,2+62(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
4+32=1+x2
72=1+x2x=6
And y+52=2+62
y+52=82y=3
