Answer:
The length of the segment is 15.65.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Distance Formula for a line is [tex]\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2} }[/tex]
To find the distance of a segment or line, we just plug in our coordinates.
[tex]\sqrt{(5 - -2)^{2} + (-8 - 6)^{2} }[/tex] | Now we solve.
[tex]\sqrt{7^{2} + -14^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{49 + 196}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{245}[/tex]
15.65
