Answer:

Isosceles trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

Plotting the points show us that this shape is at least a trapezoid, by the fact that only one pair of parallel sides.

To show that it is isosceles is done by finding the lengths of the diagonals, which takes quite long, but here, it is very clear that the two non-parallel sides are congruent, and the parallelogram is perfectly symmetrical.
