Question

Distance from (2,-5) to the origin

Answer 1

Distance = 5.4

Explanation:

Distance between the points;

(2,-5) and (0,0)

Distance between two points,

;square root of [( difference in x coordinates )^2 + ( difference in y coordinates )^2]

; square root of [(2 - 0)^2 + (-5 - 0)^2]

; square root of [ (2)^2 + (-5)^2 ]

; square root of [ 4 + 25 ]

Distance = 5.4
