Quadrilateral WXYZ has vertices W (–7, 5), X (6, 5), Y (4, -2), and Z (-9, -2). Using slope, distance, and/or midpoints, classify ABCD as a rectangle, rhombus, square trapezoid or isosceles trapezoid.

Question

I don't understand, I got the formula and everything. I don't know how to know if its a rectangle etc.

Answer 1

It's a parallelogram, with opposite sides parallel

but all 4 sides aren't equal length so it's not a rhombus

just plot it and look at the right angles.

compare the opposite and adjacent sides
