The length of the line segment are as follows

(7, 2) and (11, -2) = 5.66 units

(6, 4) and (6, -8) = 12 units

(8, - 10) and (5, -10) = 3 units

(-2, -6) and (-2, 5) = 11 units

(-5, 2) and (-5, -4) = 6 units

How to find length of line

The length of line in an ordered pair is calculated using the formula

d = √{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²}

where

d = distance between the points

x₂ and x₁ = points in x coordinates

y₂ and y₁ = points in y coordinates

distance between points (7, 2) and (11, -2) is calculated as follows

d = √{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²}

d =√{(11 - 7)² + (-2 - 2)²}

d =√{16 + 16}

d = √32

d = 5.66 units

2. Length = √((6 - 6)² + (-8 - 4)²} = √(0 + 144) = √(144) = 12 units

3. For the line segment (8, -10) and (5, -10)

Length = √((5 - 8)² + (-10 - (-10))²} = √(9 + 0) = √(9) = 3 units

4. For the line segment (-2, -6) and (-2, 5):

5 - (-6) = 5 + 6 = 11 units

5. For the line segment \((-5, 2)\) and \((-5, -4)\):

2 - (-4) = 2 + 4 = 6 units
