If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to take is to plot the coordinates of the figure. Next, we caculate the distances of the sides of the polygon using distance formula given the coordinates of points. Next we get the midpoint of each side and connect them to each other. we calculate again the distances. The resulting figure is composed of four congruent sides but the angles are not perpendicular. The answer is D. rhombus
