SLOPE FORMULA
Two points (r,s) and (u,v) in a plane have slope .

Lines with equal slopes are parallel. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel; this occurs for both pair of opposite sides of a parallelogram. This also means that opposite sides of a parallelogram have the same slope.

The instruction, "Use the slope formula", means find the slope for AB, BC, CD, and DA. Now you can answer the question.
