    Step-by-step explanation:

    The diagonals of the parallelogram are A (-5, - 1), C (-1, 5) and B (-9, 6), D (3, - 2).

    Slope of diagonal AC = (5 - (-1)) / (-1 - (-5)) = (5 + 1) / (-1 + 5) = 6 / 4 = 3/2

    Slope of diagonal BD = (-2 - 6) / (3 - (-9)) = - 8 / (3 + 9) = - 8 / 12 = - 2/3

    For the parallelogram to be a rhombus, the intersection of the diagonals are perpendicular.

    i. e. the product of the two slopes equals to - 1.

    Slope AC x slope BD = 3/2 x - 2/3 = - 1.

    Therefore, the parallelogram is a rhombus.
