Question

On a number​ line, the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W are −7​, −2​, 2​, and 7​, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. XY and ZW

Answer 1

FIRST WE ...
subtract one value to the other to see how many valued we have in between
-7 - (-2) = 5
7-2=5
Both of the lines XY AND ZW have 5 units or points in between them.
Length = 5 units
They are congruent since XY = ZW in length and essentially are the same line but at different points
