Find the slope for opposite corners:
Slope = y2-y1 / x2 - x1
Opposite corners are:
R & B
M & S
-1 - 5 / 2 - (-4) = - 6 / 6 = -1
0 - 4 / -3 - 1 = -4/-4 = 1
The slopes are reciprocal. They are identified as perpendicular lines because the slopes have opposite signs, one is positive 1 and the other is negative 1.
Perpendicular lines are lines that bisect at a right angle. One of the characteristics of a rhombus is that its diagonals bisect each other at a right angle. Thus, the given parallelogram is a rhombus.
