Given the endpoints:
A (-2, 3)
B (1, 2)
x1 = -2
x2 = 1
y1 = 3
y2 = 2
Determine the length of the line segment.
The formula for the length of line segment, also known as the distance formula:
d = √ ((x2 - x1)^2 +(y2 - y1)^2)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the distance formula.
d = √ ((x2 - x1)^2 +(y2 - y1)^2)
d = √ ((1 - (-2) )^2 +( 2 - 3)^2)
d = √ ((3)^2 +( -1)^2)
d = √ (9 +1)
d = √10
d = 3.16
Final answer:
√10 or 3.16
