The line segment connecting points (3,0) and (3,5)
is a vertical segment of length {5-0=5}}} .
Its midpoint is (3,2.5).
The line segment connecting points (6,3) and (0,3)
is a horizontal segment of length 6-0=6 ,
with point (3,3) as its midpoint.
If those segments are diagonal of a quadrilateral,
the quadrilateral is a kite.
The horizontal diagonal (with y=3 throughout)
and the vertical diagonal (with x=3 throughout)
intersect at point (3,3).
That point is the midpoint odd the horizontal diagonal,
but not the midpoint of the vertical one,
so it is not a rhombus, or a parallelogram,
but it is a kite.

This would be a kite. None of it's lines are equal, and therefore it has no lines of symmetry. Do you need me to complete the distance formula to prove?

For your information:

1.  a kite HAS two pairs of congruent sides,   and


2.  a kite HAS a symmetry line.
