Question

Find the length of the line segment shown. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step 1: Define endpoint coordinates

(2, 5)

(-6, -1)

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

$d=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-1-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{64+36}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$d=10$
