Given:
The two endpoints are (4,5) and (4,-3).
To find:
The line segment between the given endpoints and the length of the line segment.
Solution:
Plot the given point and connect them by and straight line segment as shown in the below graph.
The distance between (4,5) and (4,-3) is
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(-3-5)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{0+64}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{64}[/tex]
[tex]d=8[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the line segment is 8 units.
