How could you use the formulas to determine if a polygon on a coordinate plane is a rhombus?

The answer depends on what information you have.
You would need to use the formulae for the distance between two points to check that all 4 sides were the same length. If so, the polygon is a rhombus. If you wish to exclude squares (which are technically rhombi), you would need to check that the gradients of any two adjacent sides did not multiply to -1, since if it did the sides are perpendicular and the rhombus is a square..

Is a polygon a rhombus?
No but a rhombus is a polygon. A polygon can have three of more sides, and these can be of different lengths.

A longer rhombus
Is a rhombus a regular polygon?
No. A regular polygon has equal length sides and all the angles are equal. A rhombus has equal length sides, but only the opposite angles are equal. Since all the angles are not equal, the rhombus is not a regular polygon and is known as an irregular polygon.
