Hey there! Do you know the distance formula? :)

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is the distance formula \(\Large \text{Distance } = \sqrt{ (x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where \(\sf\Large (x_1,y_1) ~and~(x_2,y_2)\) are the two points!

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

um idk / :(

Here, \(\sf x_1 = 5\\y_1 = -6\\x_2 =5\\y_2=2\)

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

Why are you guessing? Plug in the numbers into the formula!
