Answer: Parallelogram
The Figure when formed by joining the vertices is a Parallelogram.
Reasons:
1) Both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length
2) Slope of opposite sides:
i) Points: (-2,0), (3,2) & (-3,-3), (2,-1)
Slope: 2/5 and 2/5
They are Parallel
ii) Points: (-2,0), (-3,-3) & (3,2), (2,-1)
Slope: 3/-1 and -3/1
They are Parallel as well

Therefore it is a parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given vertices of the quadrilateral are A(-2,0),B (3,2), C(2,-1) and D(-3,-3)
The length of AB is = = units
The length of BC is = =units
The length of CD is =units
The length of AD is ==units
The length of diagonal AC is==units
The length of diagonal BD is =units
Since the parallel sides of the quadrilateral are congruent but the diagonals are not equal.
Therefore it is a parallelogram.
