Question 80563: how do I use the concept of slope to determine if a given figure is aparallelogram or a rectangle. Thank you so much for your help

Assuming that you know the coordinates of the figure, you can find the slopes of the lines that form the sides. If the slopes of the lines forming two connecting sides of a figure are negative reciprocals of each other, then they are perpendicular. That means you have a rectangle.
Good Luck,
