Answer:

parallelogram

Explanation:

Opposite sides of the figure have the same slope (0 or 5/2), so are parallel. The product of the slopes is not -1, so the angles are not right angles. Adjacent sides are different lengths, so the figure is not a rhombus.

__

The figure is a parallelogram.

_____

Additional comment

The slope is the "rise" (change in y-coordinate) of the segment divided by its "run" (change in x-coordinate). The left and right sides have a rise of 7-2 = 5, and a run of 6-4 = 2 -0 = 2. Their slope is 5/2.

The top and bottom sides have a rise of 0, so a slope of 0.

When the product of the slopes of different segments is -1, those segments are perpendicular. The perpendicular to a horizontal line has "undefined" slope, so the product of the slopes would be (0)×(undefined). This is a special case of perpendicular lines where the product of slopes is not -1.
