Determine whether quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–4, –5), B(–3, 0), C(0, 2), and D(5, 1) is a trapezoid.

Answers:
Step 1: Find the slope of AB. The slope of AB is .:5
Step 2: Find the slope of DC. The slope of DC is .:–1/5
Step 3: Find the slope of BC. The slope of BC is .:2/3
Step 4: Find the slope of AD. The slope AD is .:2/3
The quadrilateral is a trapezoid because .:only one pair of opposite sides is parallel

The coordinates of the vertices for the figure HIJK are H(0, 5), I(3, 3), J(4, –1), and K(1, 1).

Answers:
To determine if it is a parallelogram, use the converse of the parallelogram diagonal theorem. This states that if the diagonals , then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.:bisect each other
The midpoint of HJ is and the midpoint of IK is (2, 2).:(2, 2)
Therefore, HIJK is a parallelogram because the diagonals , which means they bisect each other.:have the same midpoint
