Answer:

AB has a slope of 6-1/ -4 - (-4) = 5/0 which is undefined because there is a zero at the bottom.

BC has a slope of 4-6/2- (-4)= -2/6

CD has a slope of 3-4/ 2-2= -1/0 which is also undefined

AD has a slope of 3-1/ 2- -(4) = 2/6

THERE is 1 pair of parallel sides so the shape is indeed a trapezoid

BC=
\sqrt2-(-4)^2 +(4-6)^2 = \sqrt36+4 = \sqrt40

AD=
\sqrt2-(-4)^2 + (3-1)^2 = \sqrt36+4 = \sqrt40

They are equal in length which means the trapezoid is isosceles
