The figure created by plotting the points (1 ,6), (7, 9), (13, 6) and (3, 1) is a ____________.

To determine the figure created by plotting the points (1,6), (7,9), (13,6) and (3,1), we need to visualize the points on a graph.

1. Start by drawing a coordinate plane.
2. Plot the first point (1,6). This means you move 1 unit to the right on the x-axis and 6 units up on the y-axis.
3. Plot the second point (7,9). This means you move 7 units to the right on the x-axis and 9 units up on the y-axis.
4. Plot the third point (13,6). This means you move 13 units to the right on the x-axis and 6 units up on the y-axis.
5. Plot the fourth point (3,1). This means you move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 1 unit up on the y-axis.
6. Connect the points in the order they were given.

After plotting these points and connecting them, you will see that the figure formed is a trapezoid.
