Answer:

The length of the line segment is 13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The line segment joining the two points is horizontal since the y co-ordinate is the same.

For a horizontal line, the length of the line segment is simply the difference between the x co-ordinate values.

In this case we have;

7 - (-6) = 7 + 6 = 13

Therefore, the length of the line segment is 13 units

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the length  of the line segment with endpoints (-6,-8) and (7,-8).

Observe that, the y-coordinates are the same.

We can quickly use the absolute value method to find the required length.

According to this method the length of the line segment with endpoints (-6,-8) and (7,-8) is the absolute value of the difference between the x-values.

The length of the line segment is 13 units.
