Question

What is the distance between the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and the point (4, -6)? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

The origin is at \((0,0)\). The formula for the distance between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \[d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]

Answer 2

7.21?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

7.21. just as whpalmer4 said. Distance formula.

Answer 6
