Well Done!
Incorrect
The slope `(m)` refers to the “slope” or “slant” of a lineMethod OneSlope Formula
$$m=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{rise}}{\color{#00880a}{run}}$$To find the slope `(m)`, measure the rise and run between two points on the line
From point `(3, 2)` to `(1, 4)` the rise is `2` units and the run is `-2` unitsThe run is negative as the run goes to the left`m` `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{rise}}{\color{#00880a}{run}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{2}}{\color{#00880a}{-2}}$$ `m` `=` `-1` `m=-1`Method TwoSlope Formula
$$m=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{y_2}-\color{#9a00c7}{y_1}}{\color{#00880a}{x_2}-\color{#00880a}{x_1}}$$First, choose any two coordinates on the line to use in the slope Formula

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel. Parallel lines have the same slopes.Slope Formula
$$m=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{y_2}-\color{#9a00c7}{y_1}}{\color{#00880a}{x_2}-\color{#00880a}{x_1}}$$First, label the given coordinates`A(``1``,``2``) = (``x_1``,``y_1``)``B(``5``,``2``) = (``x_1``,``y_1``)``C(``3``,``-2``) = (``x_2``,``y_2``)``D(``-1``,``-2``) = (``x_2``,``y_2``)`Solve for the slope `(m)` by substituting the pairs of coordinates for lines `AD` and `BC` into the formula$$m_{AD}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{y_2}-\color{#9a00c7}{y_1}}{\color{#00880a}{x_2}-\color{#00880a}{x_1}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{-2}-\color{#9a00c7}{2}}{\color{#00880a}{-1}-\color{#00880a}{1}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{-4}}{\color{#00880a}{-2}}$$ $$m_{AD}$$ `=` $$2$$ $$m_{BC}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{y_2}-\color{#9a00c7}{y_1}}{\color{#00880a}{x_2}-\color{#00880a}{x_1}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{-2}-\color{#9a00c7}{2}}{\color{#00880a}{3}-\color{#00880a}{5}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{-4}}{\color{#00880a}{-2}}$$ $$m_{BC}$$ `=` $$2$$ Identify whether the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.`m_(AD) = m_(BC)` so lines `AD` and `BC` are parallel, and therefore the given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.The quadrilateral is a parallelogram. -
