Answer :

Given:

The graph of a line segment.

To find:

The distance between the pair of points.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the end points of the line segment are (-3,-1) and (-2,-3).

The distance between these two points is:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-2-(-3))^2+(-3-(-1))^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-2+3)^2+(-3+1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(1)^2+(-2)^2}[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]d=\sqrt{1+4}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex]d=2.236067[/tex]

[tex]d\approx 2.2[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the pair of point is about 2.2 units.
