Slope of AB = 2; Slope of DC = 2

Slope of AD = -1/2; Slope of BC = -1/2

Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel because they have the same slope, therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

<h3>What is a Parallelogram?</h3>

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of opposite sides that have the same lengths and are parallel to each other.

Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel, therefore, they have the same slope value.

Slope = change in y / change in x.

Find the slope of AB and DC. then AD and BC:

Slope of AB = (-2 - 2)/(-3 -(-1)) = -4/-2

Slope of AB = 2

Slope of DC = (-3 - 1)/(-1 - 1) = -4/-2

Slope of DC = 2

Slope of AD = (-3 -(-2))/(-1 -(-3)) = -1/2

Slope of AD = -1/2

Slope of BC = (2 - 1)/(-1 - 1) = 1/-2

Slope of BC = -1/2

Therefore, since AB and DC have the same slope, they are parallel, so also is AD and BC parallel because they have the same slope, therefore, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
