A rigid transformation does not change the shape of the original object. Translation is a type of rigid transformation. From the information given,

The line segment undergoes a translation up 5 units and left 5units from its original position. Thus,

The length of the resulting line segment would be the same as the length of the original line segment since translations preserve the lengths of line segments
