Hi there, KawallPotato! :)

Finding the slope of a line is finding the rise over run, or the change in y over the change in x. Let me show you what I mean.

Slope = change in y / change in x

Or in other words, \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let's try it with AB. The first thing to consider is the placement of the letters. The blank space is asking for the slope of point A to point B, which means that the coordinates of A are your y₁ and x₁ values and the coordinates of B are your y₂ and x₂ values.

Put them in the equation like this:

\frac{2 - (-1)}{-1 - (-4)}

2 - (-1) is a double negative, so it becomes 2 + 1, which is 3.

-1 - (-4) turns into -1 + 4 for the same reason. The change in x is also 3.

\frac{3}{3} = 1, so the slope of line AB is 1.


Using the same method, we can solve the next three problems.

Coordinates of B: (-1, 2)

Coordinates of C: (5, 1)

Slope: \frac{1 - 2}{5 - (-1)} = \frac{-1}{5+1} = -\frac{1}{6}

The slope of BC is -1/6.


Coordinates of C: (5, 1)

Coordinates of D: (1, -3)

Slope: \frac{1 - (-3)}{5 - 1} = \frac{1 + 3}{5 -1} = \frac{4}{4}, so the slope is 1.


Coordinates of A: (-4, -1)

Coordinates of D: (1, -3)

Slope: \frac{-1 - (-3)}{1 - (-4)} =  -\frac{2}{5}

The slope is -\frac{2}{5}.


Quadrilateral ABCD is not a parallelogram because it has only one pair of parallel opposite sides.

I hope this was helpful. Have a great day. :D
