Carly draws quadrilateral jklm with vertices j(-3,3), k(3,3), l(2,-1),and m(-2, -1). what is the best way to classify the quadrilateral?

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are shown in the attached graph.

You can clearly see from the picture that it is a "Trapezoid".

Trapezoid is basically a quadrilateral (4 sided-figure) that has 1/2 pair of parallel sides.

On the other hand, a parallelogram has 2 pair of parallel sides.

Thus, a parallelogram is a special type of trapezoid where there are 2 pair of parallel sides. But trapezoid need not be a parallelogram.

The picture shows 1 pair of parallel sides, hence it is a trapezoid.

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

+

2

−

4

x

second, group like terms:

3

−

4

third, combine like terms:

(
