Find the distance between the two points (-2,-6) and (0,5).

OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the distance between two points by using the following formula:

Given the points  (-2,-6) and (0,5), you can identify that:

Therefore, substituting values, you get that the distance between those points is:

The correct answer is option A.  √5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Distance formula

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

To find the distance between given points

Here (x1, y1) = (-2, 6) and (x2, y2) = (0, 5)

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

 = √(0 -  -2)² + (5 - 6)²]

 =  √(2² + 1²)]

 = √(4 +1)

 = √5

The correct answer is option A.  √5
