The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(−6, 3) , B(−1, 5) , C(3, 1) , and D(−2, −2) . Which statement correctly describes whether quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus?

C.Quadrilateral ABCD is not a rhombus because there are no pairs of parallel sides.

Complete question:

A. Quadrilateral ABCD is not a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel but the four sides do not all have the same length.

B. Quadrilateral ABCD is a rhombus because opposite sides are parallel and all four sides have the same length.

C. Quadrilateral ABCD is not a rhombus because there are no pairs of parallel sides.

D. Quadrilateral ABCD is not a rhombus because there is only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhombus states that a parallelogram with four equal sides and sometimes one with no right angle.

Given: The coordinate of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(−6, 3) , B(−1, 5) , C(3, 1) , and D(−2, −2) .

The condition for the segment  to be parallel to is matching slopes;

---->1

So, we have to check that AB || CD and AD || BC

First check AB || CD

A(−6, 3) , B(−1, 5) , C(3, 1) , and D(−2, −2)

substitute in [1],

-10 ≠ -15

Similarly,

check AD || BC

A(−6, 3) , D(−2, −2) , B(−1, 5) and C(3, 1)

Substitute in [1], we have

-20 ≠ -16.

Both pairs of sides are not parallel,

therefore, Quadrilateral ABCD is not a rhombus because there are no pairs of parallel sides.
