The lengths of the two segments below then tell whether they are congruent

YZ = 4

XW = 12

not congruent

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is a number line?</h3>

Generally, A number line is a depiction of a graded straight line that serves as an abstraction for real numbers, which are symbolized by the

Number lines are used in introductory mathematics. It is generally accepted that a real number may be assigned to each point on a number line and that each point can be assigned to a real number.

YZ = Z - Y = 1 -(-3) = 4

XW = W -X = 5 -(-7) = 12

Because the segments are not the same length, they cannot be considered congruent.

In conclusion, It is self-evident that segment YZ will not have the same length as segment XW since it is just a portion of the latter.
