Solution

False,
Now, distance between A(4,3) and B(6,4):
AB=(64)2+(43)2=22+12=5[distance between the points(x1,y1) and (x2,y2),d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2]Distance between B(6,4) and C(5,-6), BC=(56)2+(64)2=(1)2+(10)21+100=101Distance between C(5,-6) and D(-3,5), CD=(35)2+(5+6)2=(8)2+112=64+121=185Distance between D(-3,5) and A(4,3),DA=(4+3)2+(35)2=72+(2)2=49+4=53
In parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. Here, we see that all sides AB, BC, CD and DA are of different length.
Hence, given vertices are not the vertices of a parallelogram .
