Given points A(2, 3) and B(-2,5), explain how you could use the Distance Formula and an indirect argument to show that point C(O, 3) is NOT the midpoint of AB.

Therefore C is not the midpoint of AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint: The midpoint is a point from which the distance between the endpoints of a line segment is always equal.

Distance formula:

The distance between the points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is

Given points are A(2,3) and B(-2,5).

If C(0,3) is the midpoint of the line segment AB,then AC=BC.

The distance between AC is

=2 units

The distance between AC is

units.

Since AC ≠ BC

Therefore C is not the midpoint of AB.

the answer is b
