Respuesta :
The length of line segment is 10 units.
Writing the start and end points of line segment in (x, y) axis. First point = (-5, 5) and second point = (3, -1).
To calculate the line segment the formula to be used is -
d = ✓([tex] x_{2}[/tex] - [tex] x_{1}[/tex] )² + ([tex] y_{2}[/tex] - [tex] y_{1}[/tex] )²
Keep the values in formula
d = ✓(3 - (-5))² + (-1 - 5)²
d = ✓(3 + 5)² + (-6)²
Performing subtraction and addition based on sign
d = ✓8² + 36
Taking square on Right Hand Side of the equation
d = ✓64 + 36
Performing addition on Right Hand Side of the equation
d = ✓100
Taking square root on Right Hand Side of the equation
d = 10 units
Hence, the distance is 10 units.
