  opposite sides have the same slope, so it is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram has opposite sides that are parallel. Here, one pair of opposite sides consists of horizontal lines. Both have zero slope, so are parallel.

The other pair of lines each has a "rise" of 3 units for each "run" of 2 units, so the lines have a slope of 3/2. Both lines have the same slope, so are parallel.

Since opposite sides are parallel, the figure is a parallelogram.
