the length is 8

Answer:

8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the length of the segment with endpoints (-3,4) and (5,4). We will use distance formula to solve our given problem as:

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

Let point [tex](-3,4)=(x_1,y_1)[/tex] and point [tex](5,4)=(x_2,y_2)[/tex].

[tex]D=\sqrt{(5-(-3))^2+(4-4)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(5+3)^2+(0)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(8)^2+0}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{64}[/tex]

[tex]D=8[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the segment is 8 units.
