Final answer:

The given vertices form a pentagon, but the specific type of pentagon cannot be determined without additional information about the sides and angles. The lines mentioned in the additional information provided are all parallel to the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the type of polygon represented by the given vertices on the coordinate plane. By plotting the points (3,3), (5,0), (5,-3), (1,-3), (1,0), it can be observed that they form a closed five-sided figure, which is a pentagon.

To determine the type of pentagon, one would need to look at the lengths of the sides and the measures of the angles.

However, without further information about the sides and angles, it is not possible to specifically classify this pentagon beyond being just a five-sided polygon.

In the information provided, it is mentioned that there are two separate plots, one showing a line from (0,8) to (3,2) and another from (0,3) to (3,3). Analysis of these lines reveals that all three lines, including the one from (0,2) to (3,2), are parallel to the x-axis and lie at different y-values.

These lines do not intersect with each other and hence, are parallel.

The polygon whose vertices in the coordinate plane are (3,3) (5,0) (5,-3) (1,-3) (1,0) is a triangle on top of a rectangle which is neither equilateral nor equiangular nor regular.

i.e. none of the above.
