They make a quadrilateral with sides that aren't the same and none that are parallel. You can use the distance formula to check the distance between each point.
d = sqrt( (x2-x1)² - (y2-y1)² )
You can figure the slope of each line using the slope formula:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
But easier than that, just graph the points and look at it.

It is an irregular quadrilateral with all sides having a different so it is scalene. Just use the distance formula to compute the length of each side.

plot those points on a graph the first number is the x and the second is a y, then once you have plotted them, look at the shape and that will tell you what the quadrilateral is.
