Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral will be a parallelogram if the diagonals bisect each other. That will be the case if the sums of their end-point coordinates are the same.

A + C = (-3, 6) +(9, -9) = (6, -3)

B + D = (6, 0) +(0, -3) = (6, -3)

Both diagonals have their midpoint at (3, -1.5), so the diagonals are mutual bisectors. The figure ABCD must be a parallelogram.

___

The midpoint of AC is (A+C)/2 = (6, -3)/2 = (3, -1.5).
