Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the length of the line segment joining the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?
  • Step 1: Identify the two points given in the question. The points are (1, 2) and (1, 5).
  • Step 2: Notice that both points have the same x-coordinate (1). This means the line segment is vertical.
  • Step 3: To find the length of the vertical line segment, subtract the y-coordinates of the two points. The y-coordinates are 2 and 5.
  • Step 4: Calculate the difference: |5 - 2|. This means you take the absolute value of the difference between 5 and 2.
  • Step 5: Perform the calculation: 5 - 2 = 3.
  • Step 6: The length of the line segment is 3.
