Question

Tyree is determining the distance of a segment whose endpoints are A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7).

Answer 1

the answer is b that all that needs to be said lol

Answer 2

The distance between the segments A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7) is
`√(34)`

Explanation:

Given : Endpoints are A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7).

We have to determine the distance between the segments A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7).

DISTANCE FORMULA : We can find the distance between two points using distance formula.

`D=√(\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2)`

Consider the given two points A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7).

`\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=(-4,-2),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=(-7,-7)`

We have,

`D=√(\left(-7-\left(-4\right)\right)^2+\left(-7-\left(-2\right)\right)^2)`

Simplify, we have,

`D=√(34)`

Thus, The distance between the segments A(–4, –2) and B(–7, –7) is
`√(34)`
