Answer:
WX = 3√2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points to calculate the length of WX.
D = √(y₂-y₁)²+(x₂-x₁)²
Given the endpoints W(2,-7) and X(5,-4), x₁ = 2, y₁ = -7, x₂ = 5 and y₂ = -4
Substituting this values into the formula to get the length of WX will give;
WX = √(-4-(-7))²+(5-2)²
WX = √(-4+7)²+3²
WX = √3²+3²
WX = √18
WX = √2*9
WX = 3√2 units
Hence the length of WX is 3√2 units.
