Distance of Line Segment

If the coordinates of two points on a line segment are (-1, 4) and (3, -2), what is the distance between them?

• sqrt(13)

• 4*sqrt(13)

• sqrt(17)

• 2*sqrt(13)

What are the steps to calculate the length of a line segment using the distance formula?

• Identify the coordinates of the two endpoints of the line segment and use the Pythagorean theorem: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

• Use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment

• Divide the line segment into equal parts and count the number of parts

• Identify the coordinates of the two endpoints of the line segment and use the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

If the coordinates of two points on a line segment are (-3, -5) and (2, 1), what is the distance between them?

• 10.16

• 7.81

• 8.24

• 6.32

If the coordinates of two points on a line segment are (2, 3) and (5, 7), what is the length of the line segment?

• 5

• 6

• 4

• 3

How can the Pythagorean theorem be applied to find the length of a line segment?

• c = √(a^2 + b^2)

• c = a + b

• c = a - b

• c = a * b

What is the relationship between the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula for a line segment?

• The Pythagorean theorem is only applicable to right triangles, while the distance formula can be used for any line segment.

• The distance formula is a special case of the Pythagorean theorem.

• The Pythagorean theorem is a special case of the distance formula for a line segment.

• The Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula are unrelated.
