Given:

The graph of a line segment.

To find:

The distance between the pair of points.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the end points of the line segment are (-3,-1) and (-2,-3).

The distance between these two points is:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)


d=√((-2-(-3))^2+(-3-(-1))^2)


d=√((-2+3)^2+(-3+1)^2)


d=√((1)^2+(-2)^2)

On further simplification, we get


d=√(1+4)


d=√(5)


d=2.236067


d\approx 2.2

Therefore, the distance between the pair of point is about 2.2 units.
