Answer: The question is not complete. the figure is attached below.

The polygon is a rectangle.

Explanation:

Line 1 goes through (-2, 3)

hence the slope of line 1 = -3/2

Line 2 goes through (0, 3) (2, 0)

hence the slope of line 2 = -3/2

Line 3 goes through (0, 1) (-3, 1)

hence the slope of line 3 = 2/3

Line 4 goes through (3, 0) (0, -2)

Hence the slope of line 4 = 2/3

therefore -3/2 * 2/3 = -1

Line1 + Line3 Line1 + Line4 Line2 + Line3 Line2+Line4

because, the distance between Line1 and Line2 is not equal to that Line3 and Line4.

The polygon is a rectangle polygon.
