How could you verify that a parallelogram was a rhombus given just the coordinates of the vert ices?

If you KNOW it is a parallelogram, just compare the lengths (or the squares of the lengths) of any two adjacent sides. If they are equal, it is a rhombus.
If A =(w,x) and B = (y,z)
then |AB|2 = (w - y)2 + (x - z)2
