so the distance formula: d = rad (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
it doesn't matter what order you do, you just have to make sure it's a y coordinate for y and an x coordinate for x.
rad (9-5)^2 + ((-6)-1)^2
rad 4^2 + (-7)^2
rad 16 + 49
rad 65

Answer:

[tex]d = \sqrt{65}\text{ units}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex](x_1,x_2)[/tex] and [tex](y_1, y_2)[/tex] be the two points.

We have to find the distance between the two points.

The distance Formula:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - y_1)^2 + (x_2 - y_2)^2}[/tex]

Here, we are given [tex](x_1,x_2)[/tex] = (5,1) and  [tex](y_1, y_2)[/tex]  = (9,-6)

Then, the distance between these two points is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(5 - 9)^2 + (1- (-6))^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (7)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{16 + 49}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{65}[/tex]

Thus, the distance between the given point is [tex]\sqrt{65}\text{ units}[/tex].
