Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A=(-2,-1)\), \(B=(2,5)\), \(C=(m,n)\), \(H=\left(2, \frac{5}{3}\right)\) Since \(x_B = x_H = 2\), line BH is vertical. Therefore, the side AC must be horizontal, implying \(y_A = y_C\). \(n = -1\) Slope of AB, \(m_{AB} = \frac{5 - (-1)}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}\)…
