Question

What is the length of the line segment with end points (5, -7) and (5, 11)​

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

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

We have the points (5, -7) and (5, 11). Substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(5-5)^2+(11-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{0^2+18^2}=\sqrt{18^2}=18$
