Identify the coordinates and match the correct graph

The given vertices are:
\(A(-8, -2)\)
\(B(-4, 4)\)
\(C(4, 4)\)
\(D(8, -2)\)

Looking at the options:

• Graph A shows a trapezoid with vertices at \(A(-8, -2)\), \(B(-4, 4)\), \(C(4, 4)\), and \(D(8, -2)\).
• Graph B shows a parallelogram.
• Graph C shows a rectangle.
• Graph D shows a trapezoid with different coordinates.

Thus, Graph A is the correct representation.

Calculate side lengths and slopes to classify the quadrilateral

Slopes of the sides:
\[
\text{Slope of } BC = \frac{4 - 4}{4 - (-4)} = 0
\]
\[
\text{Slope of } AD = \frac{-2 - (-2)}{8 - (-8)} = 0
\]
Since the slopes of \(BC\) and \(AD\) are both \(0\), the sides \(BC\) and \(AD\) are parallel.

\[
\text{Slope of } AB = \frac{4 - (-2)}{-4 - (-8)} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}
\]
\[
\text{Slope of } CD = \frac{-2 - 4}{8 - 4} = \frac{-6}{4} = -\frac{3}{2}
\]
Since the slopes of \(AB\) and \(CD\) are not equal, they are not parallel. Thus, \(ABCD\) is a trapezoid.

Lengths of the non-parallel legs:
\[
AB = \sqrt{(-4 - (-8))^2 + (4 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52}
\]
\[
CD = \sqrt{(8 - 4)^2 + (-2 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 36} = \sqrt{52}
\]
Since the non-parallel legs \(AB\) and \(CD\) are equal in length, the quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid.
