\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {blue}{Answer:}}}}}}

Let, the points be A(5,1) and B(10,11) on the number line.

Here,


x_(1) = 5.
x_(2) = 10


y_(1) = 1.
y_(2) = 11

We,know that to find distance between two points, the formula is:


\sqrt{( {x}_(2) - {x}_(1))^(2) + ( {y}_(2) - {y}_(1) )^(2) } \\ \\ = \sqrt{(10 - 5) ^(2) + (11 - 1)^(2) } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ ({5)}^(2) + ( {10})^(2) } \\ \\ = √(25 + 100) \\ \\ = √(125) \\ \\ = 11.18

Therefore, the distance between the two points (A) and (B) is 11.18
