Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Point (5, 1)
Point (9, -6)
Step 2: Identify
x₁ = 5, x₂ = 9
y₁ = 1, y₂ = -6
Step 3: Find distance d
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d
Here,
two points are (5,1) and (9,-6)
So,
x1=5
x2=9
y1=1
y2= -6
we know that,
Distance formula:- [tex]\bold{D=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1 )^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2} }[/tex]
According to the question,
Distance between (5,1) and (9,-6)
[tex]\bold{D=\sqrt{(5-9)^2+(1-\{-6\})^2} }[/tex]
[tex]\bold{D=\sqrt{(5-9 )^2+(1+6)^2} }[/tex]
so,
option C is correct..
