Answer:
JKLM is a parallelogram
Explanation:
The slope m of a line through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)is given by the formula:
m=Δy/Δx=y2-y1/x2-x1
So the slopes of the sides of our quadrilateral are:
mJK=(−1)−24−(−3)=−37
mKL=(−5)−(−1)2−4=2
mLM=(−2)−(−5)−5−2=−37
mMJ=2−(−2)(−3)−(−5)=2
So JK is parallel to LM and KL is parallel to MJ
So JKLM is a parallelogram.
