What is the length of segment XY?

On a coordinate plane, line X Y has points (negative 4, 0) and (3, 2).

XY = √53

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose which is point 1 and point 2 so you don't confuse the coordinates.

Point 1 (–4, 0)    x₁ = –4   y₁ = 0

Point 2 (3, 2)      x₂ = 3    y₂ = 2

Use the formula for the distance between two points.

Therefore the line of segment XY is √53.
