Solution

The length of the line segment between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a 2D space can be calculated using the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem:

Distance = sqrt[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²]

Here, A = (-2, -4) and B = (-8, 4). So, x1 = -2, y1 = -4, x2 = -8, and y2 = 4.

Substituting these values into the distance formula gives:

Distance = sqrt[(-8 - (-2))² + (4 - (-4))²] = sqrt[(-6)² + 8²] = sqrt[36 + 64] = sqrt[100] = 10 units

So, the length of the line segment AB is 10 units. Therefore, the answer is A.10 units.
