Diagonal GI lies on the horizontal line y=2; diagonal HJ lies on the vertical line x=3. So the two diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

The intersection of the two diagonals is the midpoint of both diagonals.

A quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other is a rhombus.

Of course many other methods can be used to do the proof; this one looked easiest to me....
