Answer:

The length of the segment is 15.65.

Explanation:

The Distance Formula for a line is
$\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^(2)  + (y2 - y1)^(2) }$

To find the distance of a segment or line, we just plug in our coordinates.

$\sqrt{(5 - -2)^(2)  + (-8 - 6)^(2) }$ | Now we solve.

$\sqrt{7^(2)  + -14^(2) }$

√(49 + 196)

√(245)

15.65
