Observe that, the slopes of opposite sides of quadrilateral are equal.
\The slopes of adjacent side of quadrilateral negative reciprocal to each other.
\The slopes of the diagonals of quadrilateral are also negative reciprocal to each other.
Parallel lines slopes are equal.
\Perpendicular lines slopes are negative reciprocal to each other.
\The opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular.
\Diagonals are perpendicular.
\And opposite sides have equal length.
\Therefore, and
are the vertices of rectangle.
and
are the vertices of rectangle.
