Answer:
WXYZ can not be a rectangle because consecutive sides are not perpendicular to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given vertices are W(-4,3), X(1,5), Y(3,1) and Z(-2,-1).
Plot these points on coordinate plane and draw the quadrilateral as shown below.
[tex]Slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Using this formula, we get
[tex]m_{WX}=\dfrac{5-3}{1-(-4)}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m_{XY}=\dfrac{1-5}{3-1}=\dfrac{-4}{2}=-2[/tex]
Now,
[tex]m_{WX}\times =\dfrac{2}{5}\times (-2)=-\dfrac{4}{5}\neq -1[/tex]
Here, WX and XY are two consecutive sides of quadrilateral but the product of their slopes is not equal to -1. It means they are not perpendicular to each other.
Since, all interior angles of a rectangle are right angles, therefore, WXYZ can not be a rectangle.
