Question

Point X is located at (- 8, 5) and Point Y is at (7, - 3) find the distance of line segment XY.

Answer 1

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
