    The quadrilateral formed by the vertices (-1,1), (0,-3), (5,2) and (4,6) will be    [RPET 1986]

    A) Square

    B) Parallelogram

    C) Rectangle

    D) Rhombus

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[A\,(-1,\,\,1),\,\,B\,(0,\,\,-3),\,\,C\,(5,\,\,2)\] and \[D\,(4,\,\,6)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,AB=\sqrt{17},\,\,CD=\sqrt{17},\,\,BC=\sqrt{50},\,\] \[AD=\sqrt{50,}\,\,AC=\sqrt{37}\] and \[BD=\sqrt{97}\] Obviously, \[zx+3y=9\] and \[2{{x}_{1}}+3{{y}_{1}}=9\] Also diagonal \[AC\ne BD.\] Therefore, quadrilateral is parallelogram.
