Answer:

  trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

One pair of sides is parallel, so the figure is a trapezoid.

__

The upper right and lower left line segments both have slopes of -2/3. Since their slopes are the same, they are parallel. The slope is found by counting grid squares between points where the lines cross grid intersections. Those crossings occur down 2 and right 3 grid squares apart, so the slope is ...

  m = rise/run = -2/3
