Answer: The correct equation is,
[tex]6.71=\sqrt{ (11-5)^2+(y_2-6)^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are the endpoints of a line segment,
Then by the distance formula,
The length of the line segment is,
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Here, (5,6) and (11, [tex]y_2[/tex] ) are the endpoint of the line segment which has the length 6.71,
Thus, d = 6.71, [tex]x_1=5[/tex] [tex]y_1=6[/tex], [tex]x_2=11[/tex]
[tex]\implies 6.71 = \sqrt{ (11-5)^2+(y_2-6)^2[/tex]
Which is the required equation.
