Question

What is the length of the line segment shown on this coordinate grid?
First quadrant coordinate grid with a line segment connecting points (2, 5) and (9, 5).

units

Answer 1

i need help i dont get it :/

Answer 2

Is there any image, or is that just the question?

Answer 3

i could not get the image but the line segment is to 5 and 9

Answer 4

@dieg Don't just give the answer. Guide @true-love-never-dies through the process.

go to it

Answer 8

Don't go to it.

Answer 9

If in case you want to learn and not to cheat...

To calculate for the length, you have to use the distance formula: \(d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2-(y_2-y_1)^2}\)

where (x1, y1) = (2, 5)
and (x2, y2)= (9, 5)

just plug in the given point into the formula.

Answer 10

Take a look at the points:

Points (2, 5) and (9, 5)

They have the same Y value. That means it is a horozontal line and you can shortcut this by just seeing the difference in X. So from 2 to 9 is how many steps?

Answer 11

7

Answer 12

The calculation AntiNode works in all cases, but yes, on simple ones where either the X or the Y is the same, it is a horozontal or vertical line and it is that easy. So 7 is it.

um thx
