Question

Find the length of the line segment whose endpoints are (-5,6) and (6,6)

Answer 1

Answer: 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

$(x_{1}, y_{1})=(-5, 6)\\(x_{2}, y_{2})=(6, 6)\\\\\sqrt{(6-(-5)^{2}+(6-6)^{2}} =\sqrt{(11)^{2}+(0)^{2}} =\sqrt{121+0}=\sqrt{121}=11$
