Answer:
The distance between two points is √169 or 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question we need to find the distance between two points 5,6 and 0,-6 given.
Distance between two points can be found using the formula:
[tex]d(P1,P2) = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 + (y_{2}-y_{1})^2}[/tex]
Putting the given points in the formula we get,
x₂ = 0, x₁ = 5, y₂= -6, y₁= 6
[tex]=\sqrt{(0-(5))^2 + (-6-(6))^2} \\=\sqrt{(0-5)^2 + (-6-6)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-12)^2}\\=\sqrt{25 + 144}\\=\sqrt{169}\\=13[/tex]
So, the distance between two points is √169 or 13.
