Question
Hey well my teacher thinks we are in like a geometry class and so im having trouble with this one =(

Kite LOVE has vertices L(-3,-2), O(2,-2), V(3,1) and
E(0,2). Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals.

and he put explain using theorems...we dont kno any???

i think hes just trying to see wat we kno

Answer
You can find the equations of the diagonals which are
2y = x-1 and y = -2x+2
and then find that these lines cross at (0,1)

I didn't know I wasn't being polite.  I told you exactly how to do it and even gave you the two equations, although you should have learned how to write the equation of a line passing through two points.  You could also find the answer using a piece of graph paper.
