On this question is asked you to find the length of a line segment with endpoints (4,-1) and (9,7) and round it to the nearest hundredth. The only way to find the solution is by the use of the Distance Formula, which is d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2.

d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)2^2
d=√(9-4)^2+(7--1)^2
d=
√(5)^2+(8)^2
d=
√(25)+(64)
d=
√89
d=9.43 units

The length of the line segment is 9.43 units.
