  y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

In straightforward fashion, we can find the midpoints of the two segments, and set the distance between them equal to 10.

  M = midpoint of AB

  M = (A+B)/2 = ((-1, 0) +(-3, 6))/2 = (-4, 6)/2 = (-2, 3)

  N = midpoint of CD

  N = (C+D)/2 = ((3, 1) +(5, y))/2 = (8, 1+y)/2 = (4, (1+y)/2)

Then the distance MN is given by the distance formula.

  |N-M| = 10 = √((4 -(-2))² +((1+y)/2 -3)²) . . . . . distance formula*

  100 = 36 +((1+y)/2 -3)² . . . . . square both sides

  64 = ((1 +y)/2 -3)² . . . . . . . . . subtract 36

  8 = (1 +y)/2 -3 . . . . . . . . . . . . (positive) square root

  11 = 1+y/2 . . . . . . . . add 3

  22 = 1+y . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  21 = y . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

* The distance formula is an application of the Pythagorean theorem. Basically, the differences of x- and y-coordinates are taken to be the legs of a right triangle. They length of the hypotenuse is the distance between the two points.

  d² = (x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² . . . . . . . from the Pythagorean theorem

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²) . . . . . the usual distance formula

the answer will be the last one

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
