Question

What is the length of segment AB? A coordinate plane is shown. Point A is located at 6, 2, and point B is located at 0, 10. The points are connected by a line segment. 5 units 6 units 8 units 10 units

Answer 1

The answer is 8 units

Answer 2

Distance formula
d = sqrt((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)
d = sqrt((6-0)^2 + (2-10)^2)
d = sqrt(6^2 + (-8)^2)
d = sqrt(36+64)
d = sqrt(100)
d = 10

The distance between point A and point B is 10 units
The line segment AB is 10 units long
