Answer:

Length MN = 10 unit

Explanation:

Given: M {-5,2} and N {5,2} are the endpoints of the segment MN.

Length of line segment having co-ordinates as


(x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)

is calculated as


D =√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

So plugging the values in above equation we get


D =√((5+5)^2+(2-2)^2)

D = 10 unit

Therefore, Length MN = 10 unit
