it's a square. if you'd like to know how to do it let me know

Thank you so much! yes I would like for you to help me do it.

The points are (x,y) coordinates. (-1,2) means that there is a point where x = -1 and y = 2, which was drawn and marked #1 on the graph. Same was done for all. It is not to scale, but by seeing that all sides equal the same, we know it's a square and not a rectangle. Hope it helps
