Question

Find the distance of the point(-6,5)from the origin

Answer 1

Distance formula says that dist between two point is given by √[(x2-x1)² +(y2-y1)²]
here let x1,y1 be 0,0
then distance is √{36+25}
answer is √61

Answer 2

Given,

The co-ordinates of the given point is = (-6,5)

To find,

The distance of the given point from the origin.

Solution,

In the Cartesian graph system, the origin is a point where the X axis and Y axis intersect with each other. The co-ordinate of the origin is assumed as the (0,0) which means both the abscissa and ordinate of the origin is zero in terms of the numerical value.

Now, we need to find the distance of the given point from the origin by the normal distance measuring formula.

Distance = ✓(X2-X1)²+(Y2-Y1)²

= ✓(0+6)²+(0-5)²

= ✓(36+25)

= ✓61 units

Hence, the distance between the given point and the origin is ✓61 units.
