Line segment on a coordinate grid. Segment begins at point V whose coordinates are begin ordered pair negative three comma negative two end ordered pair and ends at point W whose coordinates are begin ordered pair four comma six end ordered pair.

Answer 1

Answer:

  10.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the length of the line segment between V(-3, -2) and W(4, 6).

Distance formula

The length can be found using the distance formula.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((4 -(-3))² +(6 -(-2))²)

  d = √(7² +8²) = √(49 +64) = √113

  d ≈ 10.6

The length of line segment VW is about 10.6 units.
