The coordinates (5, 2) and (–6, 2) are vertices of a hexagon. explain how to find the length of the segment formed by these endpoints. how long is the segment?

The length of the segment formed by the two given endpoints with coordinates coordinates (5, 2) and (–6, 2) is;

d = 11

Formula for distance between two coordinates is given as;

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

We are given the coordinates (5, 2) and (–6, 2).

This means that;

x₁ = 5 and x₂ = -6

y₁ = 2 and y₂ = 2

Thus;

d =  √[(-6 - 5)² + (2 - 2)²]

d = √(121 + 0)

d = √121

d = 11

      In conclusion, the length of the segment formed by the two given endpoints is; d = 11

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
