On a number line, the coordinates of X, Y, Z, and W are -8, -5, 4 and 6 respectively.

We have to find the length of the segment $\overline {XY}$

$\overline {XY}$ = -5 -(-8)

= -5+8

= 3

Now, we will find the length of the segment $\overline {ZW}$

$\overline {ZW}$ = 6-4

= 2

Since, the measures of the segments ZW and XY are not equal.

Hence, these segments are not congruent.
