Find the length of the segment MN with endpoint M at ( 2, -3) and N at ( 8, 5 ). Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Could somebody explain how to do this please?

The length of the segment MN can be found using the distance formula. The distance formula is:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, x1 = 2, y1 = -3, x2 = 8, and y2 = 5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
d = √((8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2)
Simplifying, we get:
d = √(36 + 64)
d = √100
d = 10
Therefore, the length of the segment MN is 10 units.
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, x1 = 2, y1 = -3, x2 = 8, and y2 = 5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
d = √((8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2)

d = 10
Therefore, the length of the segment MN is 10 units.
