Answer
A = (-3, 1), B = (0, 3), C = (-2, -2); D = (2, 2), E = (0, -3), F = (3, -1); yes, as slope of BC and DE are equal.
Reason
From graph,

Co-ordinates of A = (-3, 1), B = (0, 3), C = (-2, -2), D = (2, 2), E = (0, -3), F = (3, -1)
By formula,
Slope =
Slope of BC =
Slope of DE =
We know that,
Slope of parallel lines are equal.
Slope of BC = Slope of DE.
