Using the distance formula the length of the line segment from (10, -3) to (1, -3) is 9 units which means that the line segment is partitioned by 2 units and 7 units. To find the coordinates of point R plot the above information on the Cartesian plane.
If the midpoint of a horizontal line segment with a length of 8 is (3, -2), then the coordinates of its endpoints are (6, -2) and (0, -4).
The other end point is (8,-10).
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.

To find the distance between two points on a segment, you subtract their coordinates and take the absolute value of the result. This gives you the length of the segment between the two points. For example, for points ( A(x_1, y_1) ) and ( B(x_2, y_2) ), the distance in one dimension would be ( |x_2 - x_1| ) for the x-coordinates, or ( |y_2 - y_1| ) for the y-coordinates. In two dimensions, you would use the distance formula, which incorporates both coordinates.
Subtracting the y-coordinates of two points gives you the vertical distance between them, which represents the length of the vertical segment. This is because the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on a Cartesian plane. The formula for the length of the vertical segment is |y2 - y1|, where y1 and y2 are the y-coordinates of the two points. The absolute value ensures that the distance is always a positive value, regardless of the order of the points.
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
Add the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
Subtract the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the y-value would be zero, and the distance the square root of its own square.
The absolute value of the difference of their coordinate (if it is in one dimension).
