Show in two ways that the quadrilateral with vertices (0, -1) (1, 2) (-4, 7) and (-5, 4) is a parallelogram.
-------
Label the points A(0,-1), B(1,2), C(-4,7) and D(-5,4)
---
The points are in order around the figure.

Method 1:
If the lengths of AB and CD are equal, and BC and AD are equal, it's a p-gram.
====================
Method 2:
If AB is parallel to CD and BC is parallel to AD, it's a p-gram.
