ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The given parallelogram has vertices,
L(0,-3), M(-2,1), N(1,5), O(3,1).
The diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.
From the diagram, we can see that, the diagonals have coordinates L(0,-3),N(1,5)
and
M(-2,1),O(3,1).
The midpoint of any of the diagonals will give us the coordinates of intersection of the diagonals.
Recall the midpoint formula,
Using L(0,-3),N(1,5) gives,
Or we could have also used,M(-2,1),O(3,1) to get,
The correct answer is C
