Transcribed Image Text:### Classification of a Quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is graphed in the coordinate plane below. Which classification best describes the quadrilateral (parallelogram, rhombus, etc.)?
#### Justify your conclusion.
**Graph Description:**
The image displays a coordinate plane with a blue quadrilateral plotted on it. The quadrilateral is positioned as follows:
- The x-axis ranges from -8 to 23 in increments of 1.
- The y-axis ranges from -12 to 14 in increments of 1.
The vertices of the quadrilateral are approximately at the following coordinates:
1. (2, -1)
2. (3, 10)
3. (14, 12)
4. (16, 0)
The shape does not seem to possess equal side lengths or right angles, indicating it is not a square or a rectangle. The sides opposite each other do not appear to be equal and parallel, suggesting it is also not a parallelogram or a rhombus. Consequently, the quadrilateral in the graph is an irregular quadrilateral.
**Conclusion:**
Based on the analysis of the coordinates and the shape of its sides, the given quadrilateral is an irregular quadrilateral.
