Answer:

Length of the segment is 14 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any two elements 'a' and 'b' of a line segment is:

|a - b|.

Here, 'a' = -5.3 and b = 8.7

Substituting in the equation we have: |a - b| = |-5.3 - 8.7|

⇒ |a - b| = |-14| = 14.

Therefore, the length of the line segment is 14 units.
