Answer:
The distance of the line segment AB =17
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given points are X( -8,5) and Y(7,-3)
The distance of the line segment
AB = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1} )^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(7-(-8) )^{2} +(-3-5 )^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(7+8)^{2} +(-5-3)^{2} }[/tex]
AB = [tex]\sqrt{225+64}[/tex]
AB = 17
The distance of the line segment AB =17
