Rotating a rectangle to become aligned with x & y axis

i have the following line polygon which draws a rectangular shape around a specific area. this rectangle is not always well aligned .

line(newBoxPolygon(:, 1), newBoxPolygon(:, 2), 'Color', 'R');

i want to rotate this rectangle until its sides are parallel with x -axis and y axis.

i tried several method such as finding the slope of one side and comparing it to slope of straight line and then doing arctan but i failed in accomplishing the task. Whats the best way to do this task
