A line segment has endpoints 0, 5 and 6, 5 after the line segment is reflected across the x-axis how long will it be one unit 11 units 5 units 6 units
After the line segment is reflected across the x-axis, the y-coordinates of the endpoints will change sign. Therefore, the new endpoints will be (0, -5) and (6, -5).
To find the length of the new line segment, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Using the coordinates (0, -5) and (6, -5), we get:
Distance = √[(6 - 0)^2 + (-5 - (-5))^2]
= √[6^2 + 0^2]
= √(36 + 0)
= √36
= 6 units
Therefore, the length of the line segment after it is reflected across the x-axis is 6 units.
