To solve the problem, we need to find the length of each segment using the distance formula. The distance formula between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is:

\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

Let's calculate the lengths of the segments \(PQ\), \(RS\), and \(TV\).

1. **For \(PQ\)**, with endpoints \(P(-6, 3)\) and \(Q(-4, 0)\):

\[
PQ = \sqrt{((-4) - (-6))^2 + (0 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13}
\]

2. **For \(RS\)**, with endpoints \(R(-3, -4)\) and \(S(0, -2)\):

\[
RS = \sqrt{(0 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (2)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}
\]

3. **For \(TV\)**, with endpoints \(T(4, 2)\) and \(V(5, -2)\):

\[
TV = \sqrt{(5 - 4)^2 + (-2 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 16} = \sqrt{17}
\]

### Answers:
- \( PQ = \sqrt{13} \)
- \( RS = \sqrt{13} \)
- \( TV = \sqrt{17} \)

Here are five related questions:
1. How do you apply the distance formula to find the length of a diagonal line in the coordinate plane?
2. What is the significance of the distance formula in determining the straight-line distance between two points?
3. How can the distance formula be used to prove that two segments are congruent?
4. How would the calculations change if the segments were in three-dimensional space?
5. What is the relationship between the distance formula and the Pythagorean Theorem?

**Tip:** To avoid mistakes in calculations, always ensure you square the differences correctly before summing them.

Find the length of each segment. The segments PQ, RS, and TV have the following endpoints: P(-6, 3), Q(-4, 0), R(-3, -4), S(0, -2), T(4, 2), V(5, -2).

Calculate the exact lengths of segments PQ, RS, and TV using the distance formula. This problem involves coordinate geometry and is suitable for students in grades 7-10.
