Answer: The length of the line segment = 7.07 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

there are two coordinate points :


(0,-1)\ and\ (-7,-2)

Now, we need to find the length of the line segment that connects the above mentioned points,

For this, we will use "Distance formula" which is given by:


\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

So, here,


x_1=0\\\\x_2=-7\\\\y_1=-1\\\\y_2=-2

Now, put the value in the above formula:


Distance=√((-7-0)^2+(-2+1)^2)\\\\Distance=√(49+1)\\\\Distance=√(50)\\\\Distance=5√(2)=7.07

Hence, the length of the line segment = 7.07 units.
