Answer:
distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints.
In this case, (x1, y1) = (4.25, 6.25) and (x2, y2) = (22, 6.25).
Plugging these values into the distance formula, we get:
distance = sqrt((22 - 4.25)^2 + (6.25 - 6.25)^2)
= sqrt(17.75^2 + 0^2)
= sqrt(315.0625)
= 17.75
Therefore, the length of the line segment is 17.75 units.
