Question

What is the length of segment BC? A coordinate plane is shown. Point B is located at negative 3, negative 2, and point C is located at 0, 2. The points are connected by a line segment. Group of answer choices 5 7 6 4 Flag question: Question 3

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Explanation:

Use the Formula d = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)

Find the difference between coordinates:

(x2 - x1) = (-3 - 0) = -3

(y2 - y1) = (-2 - 2) = -4

Square the results and sum them up:

(-3)2 + (-4)2 = 9 + 16 = 25

Now Find the square root and that's your result:

Exact solution: √25 = 5

Approximate solution: 5
