The approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

<h3>How to calculate the distance between two points</h3>

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as:

A = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinate points X(–12, –6) and Y(5, 6). The distance between them is expressed as;

XY = √(5+12)²+(6+6)²

XY = √(17)²+(12)²

XY = √269 + 144

XY = 20.8

Hence the approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two parallel lines. their slope are equal

Find the slope of each of the lines

For line A;

m = 0 -y/0+1

mA = -y/1

For line B;

mB = 9 - 3/8 - 6

mB = 6/2

mB = 3

since their slope are equal hence mA = mB

-y/1 = 3

-y = 3

y = -3

Hence the value of y is -3
