Answer:

2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of this line segment lies along the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  As we go from (3, -2) to (5, 4), the horizontal change is 2, and the vertical change 6.  Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, which is also the line segment in question:

length = √[ 2^2 + 6^2 ] = √[4 + 36] = √40 = √4·√10 = 2√10
