Question

Calculate the length of a line with endpoints at (0, 0) and (9, 0)?

  1. 5    
  2. 4    
  3. 9    
  4. 3    

hintHint:

If there are two points left parenthesis x subscript 1 comma y subscript 1 right parenthesis and left parenthesis x subscript 2 comma y subscript 2 right parenthesis ,then distance between two points is 

Error converting from MathML to accessible text.

The correct answer is: 9


    Using distance formula,
    Distance = square root of open parentheses x subscript 2 end subscript minus x subscript 1 end subscript close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent plus blank open parentheses y subscript 2 end subscript minus y subscript 1 end subscript close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent end root
    The length of a line with endpoints at (0, 0) and (9, 0)= square root of left parenthesis 9 minus 0 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent plus blank left parenthesis 0 minus 0 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent end root
    = square root of 9 to the power of 2 end exponent plus blank 0 to the power of 2 end exponent end root
    = square root of 81 plus 0 end root
    = square root of 81
    = 9
    Therefore, The length of a line with endpoints at (0, 0) and (9, 0) is 9.
