Answer:

The distance of the line segment AB =17

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:-

Given points are X( -8,5) and Y(7,-3)

The distance of the line segment

AB =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1) )^(2) +(y_(2) - y_(1) )^(2) }


AB = \sqrt{(7-(-8) )^(2) +(-3-5 )^(2) }


AB = \sqrt{(7+8)^(2) +(-5-3)^(2) }

AB =
√(225+64)

AB = 17

The distance of the line segment AB =17
