Find the length of the red line segment in the coordinate plane.
(-2, 1)
(4, 3)
Which of the following statements are true:
(1 point)
Responses
The length is 130; find the difference between the x and y coordinates and square it.
The length is 40 units; find the sum of the x and y coordinates and square root the answer.
The length is √260
; find the difference of the x coordinates and the difference of the y coordinates and subtract those differences.
The length is √40
units; find the sum of the vertical and horizontal distances squared and then take the square root.
The correct statement is: The length is √40 units; find the sum of the vertical and horizontal distances squared and then take the square root.
To find the length of the red line segment, we can use the distance formula:
√[(4 - (-2))^2 + (3 - 1)^2] = √[6^2 + 2^2] = √(36 + 4) = √40
Therefore, the length of the red line segment is √40 units.
