Answer:

KL // MN & KN // LM

Explanation:

One property of parallelogram is every two opposite sides are parallel to each other and if a two lines (sides) are parallel so they must have the same slope.

In the parallelogram KLMN:

using the slope formula = y2-y1/x2-x1

plug the numbers: KL // MN & KN // LM so KLMN is a parallelogram
