Let's break down and solve the problems step by step:

### **Question 22**
Vertices: \( W(-2, 4), X(5, 5), Y(6, -2), Z(-1, -3) \)

Use the **slope formula**:  
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

1. Find slopes of opposite sides:
   - Slope of \( WX \):  
     \[
     \frac{5 - 4}{5 - (-2)} = \frac{1}{7}
     \]
   - Slope of \( YZ \):  
     \[
     \frac{-3 - (-2)}{-1 - 6} = \frac{-1}{-7} = \frac{1}{7}
     \]

   - Slope of \( XY \):  
     \[
     \frac{-2 - 5}{6 - 5} = \frac{-7}{1} = -7
     \]
   - Slope of \( WZ \):  
     \[
     \frac{-3 - 4}{-1 - (-2)} = \frac{-7}{1} = -7
     \]

   Since opposite sides have equal slopes (\( WX \parallel YZ \) and \( WZ \parallel XY \)), \( WXYZ \) is a **parallelogram**.  
   Check perpendicularity (rectangle): Since adjacent sides have negative reciprocal slopes (\( WX = \frac{1}{7} \) and \( WZ = -7 \)), it's a **rectangle**.

### **Question 23**
Vertices: \( J(3, 3), K(-5, 2), L(-4, -4), M(4, -3) \)

Use the **distance formula**:  
\[
\text{distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

1. Find lengths of opposite sides:
   - Length of \( JK \):  
     \[
     \sqrt{(-5 - 3)^2 + (2 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 1} = \sqrt{65}
     \]
   - Length of \( LM \):  
     \[
     \sqrt{(4 - (-4))^2 + (-3 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{65}
     \]

   - Length of \( KL \):  
     \[
     \sqrt{(-4 - (-5))^2 + (-4 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 36} = \sqrt{37}
     \]
   - Length of \( JM \):  
     \[
     \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (-3 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{37}
     \]

   Opposite sides are equal, so \( JKLM \) is a **parallelogram**.

### **Question 24**
Vertices: \( Q(-2, 2), R(0, -2), S(6, 1), T(4, 5) \)

1. Use the **distance formula** to verify if diagonals bisect each other (for parallelogram property).

---

### **Questions 26-31**
Given \( m \angle Z = 40^\circ \):  
- \( \angle 1 \): \( 90^\circ \)  
- \( \angle 7 \): \( 50^\circ \)  
- \( \angle 3 \): \( 90^\circ \)  
- \( \angle 5 \): \( 90^\circ \).
