How to prove a parallelogram is a quadrilateral
Use slope formula 4 times to prove both pairs of opposite sides are parallel
How to prove a rectangle is a quadrilateral
Use slope formula 4 times to prove it’s a parallelogram and consecutive sides are perpendicular
How to prove a rhombus is a quadrilateral
Use slope formula 6 times (4 for each side + diagonals) to prove it’s a parallelogram (both pairs of opposite sides are parallel) and diagonals are perpendicular to each other
How to prove a square is a quadrilateral
Slope formula 6 times to prove it’s a parallelogram, 2 consecutive sides are perpendicular and diagonals are perpendicular (prove it’s a parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus)
How to prove a trapezoid is a quadrilateral
Use slope formula 4 times to prove at least one pair of opposite sides are parallel
