Let P be the; point of intersection of diagonals of a parallelogram, which is the midpoint of AB and OC.

Midpoint of AC = \((\frac{x_1+x_3}{2},\frac{y_1+y_3}{2})\)

Midpoint of BD = \((\frac{x_2+x_4}{2},\frac{y_2+y_4}{2})\)

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

\((\frac{x_1+x_3}{2},\frac{y_1+y_3}{2})\) = \((\frac{x_2+x_4}{2},\frac{y_2+y_4}{2})\)

Comparing x coordinates

\(\frac{x_1+x_3}{2}=\frac{x_2+x_4}{2}\)

x1 + x3 = x2 + x4

From eqn

Comparing y coordinates

\(\frac{y_1+y_3}{2}=\frac{y_2+y_4}{2}\)

y1 + y3 = y2 + y4
