As the y-coordinates are the same, the length of the line segment is the difference in the x-coordinates
→ length 8 - 3 = 5 units
It is 5 units long.
The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (2, -5) and (-4, 2). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?
(-1, 2.5)
-1,-1.5

End points: (-3, 5) and 2, -1) Midpoint: (-3+2)/2 and (-1+5)/2 = (-1/2, 2)

13 units in length
End points: (-3, 5) and 2, -1) Midpoint: (-3+2)/2 and (-1+5)/2 = (-1/2, 2)
Length = 13 units Midpoint = (0, 3.5)
1/2
True
It is the square root of (-3-1)2+(-7--2)2 = 6.403 to three decimal places
