anonymous · Answer

find the slope of the equation, then use the distance formula :)

Do you know what I'm talking about?

no

!!!!!!!!

anonymous · Answer

so slope = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

anonymous · Answer

so it equals (6-1)/(6-0) = 5/6

anonymous · Answer

sorry I screwd up the distance formula it is actually $$\sqrt{(x _{2} - x _{1})^{2} + y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt{(6-0)^{2}+(6-1)^{2}}$$ here is what the equation should  look like

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt{(6)^{2}+ (5)^{2}}$$ then $$\sqrt{36 +25  } $$ next $$\sqrt{61}$$ finally$$\sqrt{61}= 7.8(rounded)$$ done there is your final answer
