  • A(9, 6)
  • B(-1, 4)
  • C(1, 2)
  • D(-1, 6)

Step-by-Step Solution

Midpoint of (1, 2). This must also be the midpoint of , so gives and gives ; hence = (-1, 4). (9, 6) pairs the wrong vertices as opposite, computing ; (1, 2) reports the point where the diagonals CROSS instead of the vertex ; (-1, 6) slips when solving the equation.
Answer: B) (-1, 4)
