Find the distance of the line.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the distance of the line given in the image. It appears to involve a diagonal line segment between two clearly defined points on a coordinate grid.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the Points:

    • From the graph, the line appears to connect two points:
      • Point 1: (5,5)(-5, 5)
      • Point 2: (5,5)(5, -5)
  2. Use the Distance Formula: The distance dd between two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

    Substituting the coordinates of the points: x1=5,y1=5,x2=5,y2=5x_1 = -5, \, y_1 = 5, \, x_2 = 5, \, y_2 = -5

  3. Perform the Calculations: Substitute the values into the formula: d=(5(5))2+((5)5)2d = \sqrt{(5 - (-5))^2 + ((-5) - 5)^2} Simplify: d=(5+5)2+(55)2d = \sqrt{(5 + 5)^2 + (-5 - 5)^2} d=(10)2+(10)2d = \sqrt{(10)^2 + (-10)^2} d=100+100d = \sqrt{100 + 100} d=200d = \sqrt{200} Simplify further: d=102d = 10\sqrt{2}

  4. Final Answer: The distance of the line is: d=102units.d = 10\sqrt{2} \, \text{units}.
