Answer:
Trapezoid
Step-by-step explanation:
The points are shown in the attached graph.
<em>You can clearly see from the picture that it is a "Trapezoid".</em>
<em />
<em>Trapezoid</em><em> is basically a quadrilateral (4 sided-figure) that has 1/2 pair of parallel sides.</em>
<em>On the other hand, a </em><em>parallelogram</em><em> has 2 pair of parallel sides.</em>
<em />
Thus, a parallelogram is a special type of trapezoid where there are 2 pair of parallel sides. But trapezoid need not be a parallelogram.
<em>The picture shows 1 pair of parallel sides, hence it is a </em><em>trapezoid.</em>
