Question

use the graph to determine the length of segment em.
enter the coordinates of the two given points and then calculate the distance
between them.
coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$ of point e: $(13,2)$
$(y_2)$ of point m: $(4,-10)$
$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$
$d = \sqrt{( - 9)^2+( - 12)^2}$
$d =$
the length of segment em is feet

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the squares

$$\begin{align*} (-9)^2&=81\\ (-12)^2&=144 \end{align*}$$

Step2: Sum the squares and take the square - root

$$\begin{align*} d&=\sqrt{81 + 144}\\ &=\sqrt{225}\\ &=15 \end{align*}$$

Answer:

The length of segment EM is \(15\) feet.
