The polygon formed by the points is a:
Trapezoid
Top and bottom sides are horizontal. Left and right
sides are slanted.

Challenge: For each of the following triangles, either draw an example on the coordinate plan or explain why they are
impossible to make on the coordinate plane.
Triangle #1: I have three slanted sides. (Note: Answers will vary)
Triangle #2: I have 1 vertical side and two slanted sides. (Note: Answers will vary)
Triangle #3: I have 1 vertical side, 1 horizontal side and 1 slanted side. (Note: Answers will vary)
Triangle #4: I have 1 vertical side and 2 horizontal sides.
This triangle is impossible to make since two of the sides are parallel and
will never meet.
