Here,

two points are (5,1) and (9,-6)

So,

x1=5

x2=9

y1=1

y2= -6

we know that,

Distance formula:-
\bold{D=√((x_2 - x_1 )^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2) }

According to the question,

Distance between (5,1) and (9,-6)


\bold{D=\sqrt{(5-9)^2+(1-\{-6\})^2} }


\bold{D=√((5-9 )^2+(1+6)^2) }

so,

option C is correct..

  • Distance Formula:
    \displaystyle d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (5, 1)

Point (9, -6)

Step 2: Identify

x₁ = 5, x₂ = 9

y₁ = 1, y₂ = -6

Step 3: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

  1. Substitute in points [DF]:
    \displaystyle d = √((5-9)^2+(1+6)^2)
