Question

In a coordinate plane, a line segment has endpoints at (22, –34) and (22, 7). what is the length of the line segment?

Answer 1

Hello,

The formula for finding the distance between two points is:

`\sqrt{ (x2-x1)^(2) + (y2-y1)^(2) }`

So, we simply plug in the given coordinates into the equation to find the length of the line segment (the distance between the points).

Doing this, we get

`\sqrt{ (22-22)^(2) + (7-(-34)^(2) }`
= 41

The length of the line segment is 41 units.

Hope this helps!
