Answer:

The given coordinate is formed parallelogram.

B is correct.

Explanation:

The points (5, 3), (3, -4), (10, 3), and (8, -4) are the vertices of a polygon.

Please see the attachment for point plot and name of coordinate

A(5,3) B(3,-4) C(8,-4) D(10,3)

First we find the slope of two points


\text{Slope AB}=(3+4)/(5-3)=(7)/(2)


\text{Slope BC}=(-4+4)/(8-3)=0


\text{Slope CD}=(4+3)/(10-8)=(7)/(2)


\text{Slope AD}=(3-3)/(10-5)=0

Slope of AB=Slope of CD=7/2

Slope of BC=Slope of AD=0

Opposite sides are parallel. Possible option is parallelogram.

Hence, The given coordinate is formed parallelogram.

The points (5, 3), (3, -4), (10, 3), and (8, -4) are the vertices of a polygon. What-example-1
